I'm there in the bed with my wife
 And she's looking for some room to sleep
 And I'm there touching her shoulder
 Hoping that maybe we could dream the same dream
 I stare into space awake I lie
 Wondering how close could get her and I

 And closer, you see what I want is closer
 Oh, I'm always there trying to get closer
 Oh Closer oh closer than we've been before
 Always trying to get closer
 Cuz that's where I want to go sir

 How can I say what I'm trying to say
 Lonely for somebody who's an inch away
 And closer, you see what I want is closer.

 Now it's time to pick out a restaurant
 And I'm still thinking about getting closer
 A take out stand is often where I want to go sir
 Cuz I really don't want that expensive kind
 When how to get closer is what's on my mind

 And closer, you see what I want is closer
 Well now I'm always there thinking about closer
 Oh Closer well closer than we've been before
 Oh closer Cuz that's where I want to go sir
 Oh yeah

 And my wife is sleeping, for more she's striving
 But I'm touching her cuz I'm always conniving
 To get closer, you see what I want is closer
 Oh yeah.

 Meanwhile, back in the bed
 I'm there snoring up a storm
 And my wife is there lying next to me
 And I'm there touching her arm
 Now her leg and my leg are starting to intertwine
 And that's good news for me because I'm always trying
 To get closer you see what I want...

 Well what I want is closer
 What I want is to get closer
 Oh than we've been before
 Oh closer more and more
 oh more and more.
 Yeah I want more.

 "Hey Wait, hey wait a minute Jonathan
 now don't get excited."
 Well but I am and I do and I never hide it!
 And closer, mmm, what I want is to get...
 Closer Closer Closer.
