Closer to You - Song.a.Day

How soft a whisper can get

When you're walking through a crowded space

I hear every word being said

I remember that everyday

I get a little bit closer to you

How long an hour can take

When you're staring into open space

When I feel I'm slipping further away

I remember that everyday

I get a little bit closer to you

These are the days that I won't get back

I won't hear you cry or hear you laugh

When it's quiet and I don't hear a thing

Well, I can always hear you

You know there's no where else I wanted to be

Than be there when you needed me

I'm sorry too but don't give up on me

And just remember that when you were asleep

I got a little bit closer to you

-Closer to You by The Wallflowers

This song is gorgeous orchestrally. I like the soft piano and strings. And Jakob Dylan's voice is no doubt ear candy.

But there is no denying that this song belongs on a scary stalker and/or obsessed significant other playlist, with The Police's Every Breath You Take, The Beatles' Run for Your Life, and Tommy Tutone's Jenny (867-5309).

Just sayin'!

(Brandi Carlile's Closer to You seems a bit more consensual.)
