Discover the story of the song > Closer To You – The Wallflowers

The song talks about how even in crowded spaces, the protagonist can hear every word being said by his partner, and how every day he gets a little bit closer to her. Time seems to move slowly when he's away from her and he knows that he won't get these days back. But, even in silence, he can hear her breathe and he wants her to always remember that he's getting closer to her every day, even when she's asleep.
