歌词
我品尝过爱情的甜蜜
却总是浅尝辄止
Well I’ve tasted love so sweet
我从来没有如此心动过
Played around but not for keeps
直到你的出现
I never been knocked off my feet
如同在一个空荡荡的房间
Till you came along
四周全是看不见的天使
In the room surrounding me
我知道他们会把我带到
Are angels I cannot see
我属于的那个地方
I know they come to carry me to
离你近一些，再近一些
Where I belong
我像个水手一样得意洋洋地唱着歌
也像个服装店里穿着生日装的小丑那样
Closer to you, closer to you
向你走去
I’m singing like a sailor strutting up your avenue
那些你门前曾有过的访客
Like a clown in a costume shop
他们曾留下的踱步
With a pocket full of jewels
以及他们被你拒绝的经历
对我来说这些都不算什么
All the knocks upon your door
那些国会山上的混蛋们
Footsteps fallen on your floor
那些美金上印着的罪犯们
All the shipwrecks on your shore
那些华尔街全部的钱加起来
Mean nothing to me
都不能阻止我向你走去
All the crooks on Capitol Hill
近一些，再近一些
Criminals on the dollar bills
像那个对着空房间布道的传教士一样耿直
All the money on Wall Street still
像那个午后就已经在酒吧的醉汉一样痴傻
Couldn’t keep me from getting
只为离你再近一些
诗人都无法形容你名字的美丽
Closer to you. Closer to you
赌徒都不敢玩这个真心的游戏
Like a priest on a pulpit preaching to an empty room
把火柴一样的雕像点燃
Like a drunk in a dive bar in the early afternoon
都不如你手中的蜡烛明亮
Closer to you.
日落大道上的骗子
催眠师还有伪君子
Poets could not pronounce your name
街头艺人还有小偷
Gamblers couldn’t play the game
做梦都想像我这样（离你更近一些）
Matchstick statues set to flame
我品尝过爱情的甜蜜
Couldn’t hold a candle to you
却总是浅尝辄止
Swindlers on the Sunset strip
我从来没有如此心动过 直到你的出现
Hypnotists and hypocrites
我会接受欺骗
Ventriloquists and Pickpockets
嫉妒还有虚荣心
Wish that they could get
以及你对我的考验
因为我如此渴望能
Well I’ve tasted love so sweet
离你近一些，再近一些
Played around but not for keeps
像一个在废品站里发现宝贝的猎犬一样
I never been knocked off my feet till you came along
我要对着月亮嚎叫着分享喜悦
像一个走进典当铺的海盗，口袋里装满了珠宝那样满足
I sit through the trickery
只要能离你更近一些
The jealousy and vanity
我一定会通过的
The potency of your prophesy
宝贝，我一定会通过考验的
Because I long to be
只为了离你更近一些
Closer to you. Closer to you
Like a hound dog in a junkyard honey
I’m howling at the moon
Like a Pirate in a pawnshop with a pocket full of jewels
Closer to you (x3)
I’ll get through
Oh baby I’ll get through
Closer to you
