[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.
