I've built an empire on a beach of shifting sand
To see the walls go down so fast, I thought it was the end
Thought I was close to living but never close to free
I was looking for a high I could not find
Until you came down to me
Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you were giving
Was the something I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs and hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was livin' is through
I'm closer to Heaven when I'm with you
I want to be a little closer
Come a little bit closer, baby
I've jumped in the fire to watch the flames turn blue
There's just something in your smile that drives me wild
And makes me come back to you
When I sail my ship on the sea of loneliness
You're the lighthouse that shows me where love is
Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you were giving
Was the something I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs and hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was livin' is through
I'm closer to Heaven
Closer to Heaven when I'm with you
As a sinner and a saint
And my own worst enemy
You make it easy to be the man I want to be
Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh
Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you were giving
Was the something I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs and hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was livin' is through
I'm closer to Heaven
Closer to Heaven when I'm with you
(I wanna be a little closer) closer, closer
(Come a little bit closer) oh, baby
