Well you thought you let go, but you´re still hanging on
Mother Earth´s slowing down
She´s still spinning around and we......are getting dizzy

I´ll drop out of the race for more personal space
´Cause the rockets we´re in get so cold and I miss your skin
It´s just how I´m feeling

If you need more love, well you´ve gotta get close to me
If you want my love, well you´ve gotta get closer to me

No unreachable itch, if you hemorrhage I´ll stitch
You are tears, I´m a cheek
I´m a pail on your boat with slow leaks
Out to sea for weeks

But if you want my love, well you´ve gotta get close to me
If you need my love, well you´ve gotta get closer to me
Ooh, if you want my love:

I don´t understand why we can´t get close enough
I want your kite strings tangled in my trees, all wrapped up
I don´t understand why we can´t get close enough
I´ll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up

You´re my shirt iron-on, I´m the tick, you´re the bomb
You´re the L and the V, I´m the O and the E
Am I speaking clearly?

If you want my love, well you´ve gotta get close to me
Ooh, if you want my love:

I don´t understand why we can´t get close enough
I miss the shivers in my spine every time that we touch
