Mat Kearney - Closer To Love Lyrics






She got the call today
One out of the gray
And when the smoke cleared
It took her breath away
She said she didn't believe
It could happen to me
I guess we're all one phone call from our knees
We're gonna get there soon

If every building falls
And all the stars fade
We'll still be singin' this song
The one they can't take away
I'm gonna get there soon,
She's gonna be there too
Cryin' in her room
Prayin' Lord, come through
We're gonna get there soon

[Chorus:]
Oh it's your light,
Oh it's your way,
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin' out now
From so far away...
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love

Meet me once again
Down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowin' down with the wind
And don't apologize
For all the tears you've cried
You've been way too strong now for all your life
I'm gonna get there soon,
You're gonna be there too
Cryin' in your room,
Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon

[Chorus:]
Oh, it's your light
Oh, it's your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin' out now
From so far away...
Pull me closer to love
Closer to love

'Cause you are all that I've waited for
All of my life (We're gonna get there)
You are all that I've waited for
All of my life
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Pull me closer to love
Pull me closer to love
Closer to love, oh no
Closer to love
Closer to love
Pull me closer to love

    I suddenly remembered this song existed out of the blue just now. Still one of my favorites of all time now that I'm hearing it again.

    E.... ....

    Same here. Used to listen to this song all the time when it first came out.

    E.... ....

    me 2! used to listen to this all the time as a kid couldn't remember who sang it........searching everywhere:):):):):):)

  15. c.... S....

    beautifulness

  16. S.... ....

    Such a beautiful song, and very relatable for me. I just lost my daddy this past August, so I understand the "one phone call from our knees" . I feel like I took him for granted, and never truly expressed how much I loved and appreciated him. But my loss was sudden and unexpected. Also, just like in the song, I never thought something like this could happen to me, 'cuz after all, most people lose their parents as adults. I didn't know I was saying goodbye when I said "good night Daddy, love you Daddy." And people tell me it's okay to cry, but I still feel like I need to move on, (probably because I do) but I can't. Plus, my parents met each other at lake Michigan... and I'm trying to keep faith " crying in your room, praying Lord come through" but this all so hard and awful... So this song just really describes rather beautifully how I'm feeling. This song, Ordinary World, and Hear You Me, probably fit the bill best.

    S.... ....

    Praying for you and your family, during this hard time. You have all the wonderful memories to hold onto and your Dad is always going to be near at heart! You will remember him when you see sunsets and see him in your own children's faces someday. My son looks and acts so much like my dad, he has his smile and mannerisms, my dad passed away four years ago from Cancer but I was an adult but it was still very hard. Keep your faith! The Lord gives us peace that passes understanding!

    S.... ....

    +SnowLeopard84 fangirl I'm so, so sorry for your loss. I'm praying for God to heal your heart and give you peace. My heart goes out to you and your family!

  17. m.... ....

    Lol TVD

    s.... ....

    +syntheticmunkey omfg, me too!! lol XD

    s.... ....

    Me to I work there and over the Christmas season worked in the electronics department and heard it every 5 sec

  19. R.... L....

    Nice oldie love your lyrics thanks !!!

  20. N.... ....

    Looking so long for this song.

  21. D.... Y....

    Praise you Jesus

  22. A.... R....

    When I heard this on vampire diaries I thought It was Coldplay

    A.... R....

    I also thought it was Coldplay. That same kind of falsetto singing that's been so successful for them.

    A.... R....

    lol me too

    A.... R....

    I became a fan of his seen him twice because I'm obsessed with Coldplay, i remember when Ships In The Night played on the radio I instantly thought it was a new Coldplay song so I went on you tube clicked ships in the night Coldplay nothing came up but Mat's name. So I started listening to Mat's work and instantly fell in love. Like I said I've seen him live now twice and I'm a huge fan. One of his new songs on his last release he mentions that he sounds a little like Coldplay.

    A.... R....

    So I’m the fourth person, Who happen to have the same thoughts with the three of you guys

    A.... R....

    Ha! Ha! Not your fault at all. Close your eyes and it will be hard to tell if its Mat Kearney or Chris Martin. Even their singing style is almost the same. The style and genre of music that Matt uses is also extremely similar to that of Coldplay.

  23. R.... H....

    great song

  24. H.... E....

    You pull me closer to love

  25. L.... T....

    Beautiful song!

  26. c.... ....

    Rabbis ANSWER question from Church 
    [Response – re(long E) spon  (short O) e (short E)]
    1 Corinthians 14 King James Version (KJV) 
    QUESTION   34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
    35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
    ANSWER: 36 WHAT? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
    37 If any man  [ in the SPIRIT there is no GENDER ] think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
    38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
    39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
    40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
