Ode to 5 Years of Bliss! (aka Closer by Jars of Clay)

(engagement 9/13/04)

I’ll drop out of the race for more personal space

Cuz the rocket’s we're in, get’s so cold and I miss your skin

that’s just how I’m feelin.

(wedding 2/26/05 & 1 year anniversary in Hawaii 2/26/06 - few months preggers with Eli)

If you need more love, well you’ve got to get close to me

If you want my love, well you’ve got to get closer to me

(Going into labor with Eli 9/15/06)

No unreachable itch, if you hemorrhage I’ll stitch

You are tears, I’m a cheek, I’m a pail on your boat with slow leaks

out to sea for weeks

If you want my love, well you’ve got to get close to me

If you need my love, well you’ve got to get closer to me

Oh, if you want my love

(Cora Jane born 2/14/08)

I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough

I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up

I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough

I’ll be the comets that are fallin’ from the sky you light up…light up

(Dancing the night away 12/6/08)

You’re my shirt iron-on

I’m the tick, you’re the bomb

You’re the L and the V, I’m the O and the E

Am I speaking clearly?

(4 year anniversary 2/26/09)

If you want my love, well you’ve got to get close to me

Ooh, if you want my love…

(Annual Pageant of the Masters 7/18/09)

I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough

I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up

I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough

I’ll be the comets that are fallin from the sky you light up

(hot date in LA last week)

Because I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough

I miss the shivers in my spine every time that we touch.
