All I Did (Was Get Close To You)
You may strike me down in anger
You may hold a different vice
You may talk about me
Spreading round your foolish lies
You may say it all comes
Down to just one thing
You either take it
Or you leave it
And bear the consequence it brings
I've kissed the lips of angels
I've mingled with the fools
Lord knows how I've tried
Living by you rules
I've walked with the restless
They don't get much sleep
I've made another promise
One I could not keep
You make strike me down in anger
You may burn me with your eyes
You may talk about me
Spreading round your foolish lies
You may say it's all or nothing
And that there's no in-between
And all I need to do is focus
And stop living in a dream
I've tried to make a difference
I knew that would not last
While trying to move forward
I got caught up by the past
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
Can? Can I take it?
Can I ? Can? Will I try to
Break away from you?
I've kissed the lips of angels
I've mingled with the fools
Lord knows how I've tried
Living by your rules
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
Now, sing, sing
When I sing, would you sing with me?
When I sing, would you sing with me?
When I sing, would you sing with me?
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to youif only the rules were built upon philosophy that i embraced
i'd hug your neck and kiss your face
but its very obvious that your ideals are not for me
you'll tell me what to do
but you will see that i do as i please
cause i want to do it my way
i want to fly
the problem with rules is they alienate the criminals
when whose to say if what they did was wrong that day
if you'd open your mind up
you'd see that there is nothing that's always wrong
no matter what you say
it's just not true that there's only one way
i hope we have ourselves an understanding
