I see you walking everyday 
With a smile beneath frown 
But I won't look away, yeah 
What does it mean? 
What's there to see? 

If I look closer 
Closer, closer 
Closer, closer 
Closer, closer 
Closer

Where are you going? 
And what are you thinking at all? 
Your eyes show nothing more 
Than a dazed oblivion 
What does it mean? 
What will I see? 

When I look closer 
Closer, closer 
Closer, closer 
Closer, closer 
Closer, yeah 

You don't see me 
Watching everyday 
My smile could warm your frown 
And I'd never look away 
Never look away 
There's more to me (there's more to me)
Than what you see 

When you look closer 
Closer, closer 
Closer, closer 
Closer, closer 
Closer, closer
Closer, closer
Closer, yeah
Closer, closer
Closer, no no, oh
