Getting Closer ft. Eric Price & Hannah Corneau Lyrics

There's no time for a wayward glance

Or a lovely stroll in the park

No, there's one road, one lonely path

To the light from out of the dark

I can't turn back and I can't slow down

And I can't get carried away

But still you're there, saying all the words

That I can't bear you to say

Not now!

Not while I'm getting closer

I can't

Not while the work is still waiting

Someday

Another time, another way

Another me and you

But I must be true

To the world I'm getting closer to

I'm not here to fall in love

And be someone's beautiful bride

I left my home so that I could work

Not set that work to the side

Every day is a constant quest

Ever on, no way out, no reprieve

You've said the same yourself

But now you say you want to leave!

Not now!

Not while I'm getting closer!

You can't!

Why don't you care what I'm chasing?

I thought

That, with you here, I'd have a shot

But no, be true to you!

Do what you have to do

Although it doesn't change a thing

Whatever comfort it may bring

I thought that we were getting closer too
