Rather Be

Well it's amazing and I'm O.K.
I've got a rhyme and I've just got my reasons
But if there's a better way
Well it's something that I'd love to find
Slip away to my secret place
There is something I can believe in
I'm alone but I'm not afraid
Just need to rearrange my mind

And oh can't you see me,
Oh can't you hear me
Oh I know you feel me please believe me

I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be holdin' on to something I can hold on to
I'd rather be close to you

Even if it is make believe
You find the numbers you paint the picture
Then pretty soon you begin to see
As it all just appears so slow
And how wonderful it would be
Stumble into the hidden pleasures
Making time and a memory
Please don't tell me you have to go

And oh can't you see me,
Oh can't you hear me
Oh I know you feel me please believe me

I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be holdin' on to something I can hold on to
I'd rather be close to you

Oh can't you see me,
Oh can't you hear me
Oh I know you feel me please believe me

I'd rather be
I'd rather be
I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be holdin' on to something I can hold on to
I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be close to you
I'd rather be
I'd rather be
I'd rather be
I'd rather be
