So leave your taxi waiting 
And turn and close my door 
And sit back down where you were sitting 
A little closer than before 

When you look that serious 
It just makes me want you more 
And I've been needing to tell you 

The closer you get, the better I feel 
The closer you are, the more I see 
Why everyone says that I look happier 
When you're around 
The closer you get, the better I feel 

And yes I know you're nervous 
Never seen you so unsure 
You haven't touched your food tonight 
And you're drinking more and more 

And there's no need to hurry 
Taking time I'll still be here 
And I've been needing to tell you 

The closer you get, the better I feel 
The closer you are, the more I see 
Why everyone says that I look happier 
When you're around
better I feel 
The closer you get, better you see
The closer you are, more I see
Why everyone says that I look happier
When you're around 
The closer you get, better I feel 
Better I feel 

We've been circling for time baby 
We're coming down to land tonight 
The wait is over and now it's easy 
Everything is fine 

The closer you get, better I feel
The closer you are, more I see
Why everyone says that I look happier
When you're around, better I feel 
The closer you get, better you see
The closer you are, more I see
Why everyone says that I look happier
When you're around 
The closer you get
Better I feel
