Lyrics of Closer than i appear

Lock all the doors an' turn out the lights.
Work this thing through till we get it right.
But if i seem angry an' cold,
Or i don't speak at all,
It's just that old fear,
'cause baby, i'm closer than i appear.

An' here are the facts, as much as i know.
We've got to turn back if we can't let it go.
You know your heart an' your mind.
An' i'm just three steps behind,
But i feel those tears,
'cause baby, i'm closer than i appear.
Yeah, baby, i'm closer than i appear.

'cause somewhere inside, i'm reachin' out for you.
Somewhere inside, we both know the truth.
But i learned lots of rules 'bout what a man's made of,
An' i got to rethink what i know about love.
Hey, i'm willin' to change.
If i still seem the same, well it's just them old fears.
An', baby, i'm closer than i appear.

If i was born to stand here, an' give you nothing but love,
To fill up these years,
Then, baby, i'm closer than i appear.
Yeah, baby, i'm closer than i appear.

Well, come closer, an' i'll come closer.

Well, come closer, closer than i appear.
