Billy was a young boy throwing bricks,
Running through town with his finger flipped,
Crying inside for the love he missed,
Kissing your face with his pale fist.

He could fly!
He could fly!

Lucy was a swimmer in her own school team,
Cut through the water like a fish in the stream,
But when she got home and heard her mother scream,
She put her fingers in her ears and began to dream.

She could fly!
She could fly!

Closer, what do you say?
It was all too much to bear
Closer, we're not the same
It was not your pain to share
And I will never be a hero
But I can look you in the eye
And try, and try, and try

Emma was a shadow at the back of the class
Never saw her move, never heard her ask
Hiding from the words that had cut like glass
Hiding from your friends and the way you laughed

She could fly!
She could fly!

Closer, what do you say?
It was all too much to bear
Closer, we're not the same
It was not your pain to share
And I will never be a hero
But I can look you in the eye
And try, and try, and try

And one day they will need you
But you won’t need them then
And one day they will love you
But they are not your friends
They don’t know you like that

Closer, what do you say?
It was all too much to bear
Closer, we're not the same
It was not your pain to share
And I will never be a hero
But I can look you in the eye
And try, and try, and try
