Closer Now

Sitting on the beach, across from the water
Facing foam that's forgotten in the sand
And the streams still flow
A heart that throbs remembers everything
And then, everything touches me
All the wonders of the day
So come, stand next to me for a moment
Close now, close now

Don't judge me like that, don't think bad, no
Don't speak ill of me, don't think bad, no
The world isn't perfect, it's not an excuse
To say sorry, it takes time, courage
Give me a moment, two bodies, two choirs
And I'll explain everything to you, now that I understand it
Accept this truth that I have
Where mistakes existed
Because mistakes are made even by the dead

As long as there is courage
I will live, I will demand my moment
To scan my thoughts
To cleanse my body
To amend what was done wrong
Even if you want me close
From words to actions, there's a gap

If I shred memories into tiny pieces
It would be erasing moments that you didn't erase
That made me who I am, a better person than yesterday
If those stones broke my feet
They won't do it again

And then, everything touches me
All the wonders of the day
So come, stand next to me for a moment
Close now, close now

There's a place inside your heart
All the wonders of the day
Now dreams need redemption
A prayer, something sacred
A knot I swallow in silence
Leaves me naked, the whole argument
You say; I doubt it
I say; I understand you
I say; I'm sorry
But you don't feel me
Yet I feel your pride speaking to me loudly and violently

You feel a pleasure that soothes your feelings
I was to blame for your sufferings
You sit to watch me in my remorse
Like almighty or god of time

There's a place inside your heart
That doesn't know what forgiveness is
Now dreams need redemption
A prayer, something sacred

There's a place inside your heart
That doesn't know what forgiveness is
Now dreams need redemption
In a sea where freedom sails
