Closer Lyrics

[Intro: Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I'm getting closer to the edge
I hear you calling me
I'm running faster than I ever did before
I'm trying to fill your shoes

[Buildup 1]
But I'm afraid to fail
Afraid I won't measure up
Afraid I won't measure up
Afraid I won't measure up

[Drop 1: Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I'm getting closer to the edge
I hear you calling me
I'm running faster than I ever did before
I'm trying to fill your shoes

But I'm afraid to fail

[Interlude]
(I'm trying to fill your shoes)
(But I'm afraid to fail)
[Buildup 2]
But I'm afraid to fail
Afraid I won't measure up
Afraid I won't measure up

[Drop 2: Instrumental]

[Outro]
(I hear you calling me)
(I'm running faster than I ever did before)
(I'm trying to fill your shoes)
(But I'm afraid to fail)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
