Closer (live)

Guster · The Pasty Tapes [EP] [1999]

Seldom are things just as they seem

Calluses grow to keep what's underneath

Seeing it now I must admit

The cowardly way to keep you from me



Cause I have been bought and sold

Done just as I've been told

If you, if you ask me what was wrong

I'd answer nothing

Nothing



Finally you are gone

Can't believe that I cared once

Burn this place, burn it down

Nothing there's worth being saved



Five years ago when I used to think

Something is better than nothing

I never did learn or did I forget?

Once you give it away you cannot take it back



Cause I have been bought and sold

Done just as I'd been told

If you, if you ask me what I'd done

Was good for nothing

Nothing



The closer you are

The less that I see

But you're not around



Finally you are gone

Can't believe that I cared once

Burn this place, burn it down

Nothing there's worth being saved



Finally you are gone

Can't believe what I've done

Burn this place, burn it down

Nothing's there worth being saved
