[Verse 1] What was keeping me away in the first place? Was it love? Was it loss? Was I afraid of what they'd say to my face? My worries were on the last page. Skim acrossed. Skim acrossed. He finds his prince in the new age. [Pre-Chorus] I freed the animal from its cage. Don't look back; I feel the rage. I feel the pain. But baby for goodness sake. [Chorus] The closer I get. The better I feel. I'm in the net. You're on the field. I can't stop getting closer. Beauty's in the eye of the beholder. It happened in an instance. Now there's no more distance.
[Verse 2] Why the hell was I afraid? Was it you? Or was it me? Was I too scared of the human race? There was too much to stress about yesterday. I'm letting go. I'm letting go. And there's no other way. [Pre-Chorus] I freed the animal from its cage. Don't look back; I feel the rage. I feel the pain. But baby for goodness sake. [Chorus] The closer I get. The better I feel. I'm in the net. You're on the field. I can't stop getting closer. Beauty's in the eye of the beholder. It happened in an instance. Now there's no more distance.
