Closer Than I Appear Rosanne Cash

Lock all the doors and turn out the lights
We'll work this thing through till we get it right
But if I seem angry and cold or I don't speak at all
It's just that old fear 'cause baby, I'm closer than I appear

And here are the facts, as much as I know
We've got to turn back if we can't let it go
You know your heart and your mind
I'm just three steps behind, but I feel those tears
'Cause baby, I'm closer than I appear
Yeah, baby, I'm closer than I appear

Somewhere inside, I'm reaching out for you
Somewhere inside, we both know the truth
But I learned lots of rules about what a man is made of
And I got to rethink what I know about love
Hey, I'm willing to change
If I still seem the same, well it's just them old fears
And baby, I'm closer than I appear

If I was born to stand here
And give you nothing but love to fill up these years
Then, baby, I'm closer than I appear
Yeah, baby, I'm closer than I appear

Well, come closer and I'll come closer
Well, come closer, closer than I appear
