Billy was a young boy throwing bricks

Running through town with his finger flipped
Crying inside for the love he missed

Kissing your face with pale fist
He could fly

He could fly

Missy was a swimmer in her own school team
Cut through the water like a fish in the stream
But when she got home and heard her mother scream
Put her fingers in her ears and began to dream
She could fly

She could fly

Closer what do you say?

It was all too much to bear

Closer were not the same

It was not your pain to share

And I will never be a hero

But I can look you in the eye

 try  try  try

Norma was a shadow in the back of the class
Never saw her move never heard her ask
Hiding from the words thought they cut like glass

Hiding from your friends and away you left

She could fly

She could fly

Closer what do you say?

It was all too much to bear

Closer were not the same

It was not your pain to share

And I will never be a hero
But I can look you in the eye

 try  try  try

And one day they will need you

Oh he will need them plenty

And one day they will love you

But they will know your friends

And when they will know like I do

Like I do eh yea yea

They will know like I do

Like I like I like I
Closer what do you say?
It was all too much to bear

Closer were not the same

It was not your pain to share

And I will never be a hero
But I can look you in the eye
