Sam Fender – Little Bit Closer (Lyrics)

They break you in like a wild foal
Target the dole queue broken souls
I don’t disagree with everything they do
I was a child in the peak of a panic attack
The proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back
Was the wailin’ sound of my cousin slain in spirit

Well
Come on, lift your head
Get out your frozen state
You’re starting to look like Ötzi now
Come on, wake the dead
Show me you walk on water
And I get a little bit closer to it

Oh, I have friends who were cast aside
A young, meek lad with a curious mind
Just terrified of what the church would have to say
No, I don’t know if I believe in Him
But when the rapture comes, if this is a sin
I’ll burn with everybody that I know

Yeah
I was lost in their
Sermons and lies at God camp
Tryin’ to pray the gay away
Something was shook in me
A birth of a new foundation
That gets me a little bit closer to it

I can’t live under the notion
That there’s no reason at all
For all this beauty in motion
I don’t buy the deities spoke of
But in love, there’s something to hold
And I get a little bit closer to it

What is God?
What is God?
What is God?

I never found Him, I never found Him
I can’t live under the notion
That there’s no reason at all
For all this beauty in motion
I don’t buy the deities spoke of
But in love, there’s something to hold
And I get a little bit closer to it

I get a little bit closer, I get a little bit closer
I get a little bit closer, I get a little bit closer
I get a little bit closer, I get a little bit closer
I get a little bit closer, I get a little bit closer to it
