Lyrics: Closer To You

I got into cars and trains
And trams and buses and aeroplanes but
None of them brought me closer to you

I walked down lanes and country tracks
Down boulevards, round cul-de-sacs but
None of them brought me closer to you

But sat up in bed with our tea for two
The Saturday Guardian and Radio 2
These are the things that bring me closer to -
These things bring me closer to you
Closer to you

During the summer of '93
I thought it was a good idea to sport a small goatee and
That didn't bring me closer to you

I learnt to talk about organic beer
And went to the pub for two years and
That didn't bring me closer to you

But watching my watch at the foot of the stairs
When we should be long gone but you're still drying your hair
These are the things that bring me closer to -
These things bring me closer to you
Closer to you

Closer to you
Closer to you
These are the things that bring me closer to you

Getting all drunk when I'm out on my own
Trying to be quiet coming in, and knowing you know
These are the things that bring me closer to -
These things bring me closer to you
Closer to you

Closer to you
Closer to you
These are the things that bring me closer to you
