"Close to Me"

I've waited hours for this

I've made myself so sick

I wish I'd stayed asleep today

I never thought this day would end

I never thought tonight could ever be

This close to me

Just try to see in the dark

Just try to make it work

To feel the fear before you're here

I make the shapes come much too close

I pull my eyes out, hold my breath and wait

Until I shake

But if I had your faith

Then I could make it safe and clean

Oh, if only I was sure

That my head on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this

I've made myself so sick

I wish I'd stayed asleep today

I never thought this day would end

I never thought tonight could ever be

This close to me

But if I had your face

Then I could make it safe and clean

Oh, if only I was sure

That my head on the door was a dream
