Well it's amazing and I'm okay

I've got a rhyme and I've got my reasons

But if there's a better way

Well it's something that I'd love to find

Slip away to my secret place

There is something I can believe in

I'm alone but I'm not afraid

Just need to rearrange my mind

And oh can't you see me

Oh can't you hear me

Oh I know you feel me

Please believe me

I'd rather be close to you

I'd rather be holdin' on

To something I can hold on to

I'd rather be close to you

Even if it is make believe

You find the numbers you paint the picture

Then pretty soon you begin to see

As it all just appears so slow

And how wonderful it would be

Stumble into the hidden pleasures

Making time and a memory

Please don't tell me you have to go

And oh can't you see me

Oh can't you hear me

Oh I know you feel me

Please believe me

I'd rather be close to you

I'd rather be holdin' on

To something I can hold on to

I'd rather be close to you

Oh can't you see me

Oh can't you hear me

Oh I know you feel me

Please, please believe me

I'd rather be, I'd rather be

I'd rather be close to you

I'd rather be holdin' on

To something I can hold on to

I'd rather be close to you

I'd rather be close to you

I'd rather be

I'd rather be

I'd rather be

I'd rather be
