[VERSE]
Riding on rivers of
Neon and plastic
Standing for nothing
And sitting in traffic
Patchwork informants
And brand name endorsements
Monthly subscriptions
To fiction non-fiction
[PRE-CHORUS]
Yes we want this give us more
Yes we want this give us more
Yes we want this give us more
Yes we want this give us more
[CHORUS]
Bring me closer
(Bring me closer)
Just tell me who I am
We've surrendered
(We've surrendered)
The ground on which we stand
Over deserts
(Over deserts)
Under maps of distant hearts
Playing games with mirrors
Until we fall a-
[VERSE]
What's in my news now?
My TV, my feed?
The chill of your skin
Or the warmth of my screen?
[PRE-CHORUS]
Just tell me what I wanna hear
Just tell me what I wanna hear
Just tell me what I wanna hear
Just tell me what (what!)
I wanna hear
[CHORUS]
Bring me closer
(Bring me closer)
Just tell me who I am
We've surrendered
(We've surrendered)
The ground on which we stand
Over deserts
(Over deserts)
Under maps of distant hearts
Playing games with mirrors
Until we fall apart
[POST-CHORUS]
(PART!)
Until we fall apart
(PART!)
Until we fall apart
(PART!)
Until we fall apart
Until we fall apart
[BRIDGE]
But when all is said and done
The stories that we've spun
Will tell us what was real
Will tell us what to feel
We've sold our final thoughts
For baubles that we bought
More shiny souvenirs
Replace them all next year
Oooh, oooh
Replace us all
Erase us all
[CHORUS]
Bring me closer
(Bring me closer)
Just tell me who I am
We've surrendered
(We've surrendered)
The ground on which we stand
Over deserts
(Over deserts)
Under maps of distant hearts
Playing games with mirrors
Until we fall apart
[POST-CHORUS]
(PART!)
Till we fall apart
(PART!)
Till we fall apart
(PART!)
Till we fall apart
Till we fall apart
