Loneliness, a constant friend and lover
I know well
Crowded rooms the iron bar
That surround me
Trying hard to catch your eye
Just once, you see
Knowing from this moment if you did
We could be
{chorus}
One step closer
Closer than we are
One step closer
Closer than before
So many lines, youve heard them all
A lie in every one
From men who never understand
Your personality
And though we never even met
No talking needs to be done
The hum of conversation will disolve you
Into me
{chorus x2}
