Shawn McDonald’s Closer is starting to pick up airplay at Christian AC. It’s the third-most added song this week at Christian AC stations; it’s also second-highest amongst new songs in terms of increased airplay and registers the fifth greatest airplay increase overall. Closer was recently featured on Lifetime’s Drop Dead Diva, where the song has developed a quiet little fan base. Closer lyrics sing of an intimacy with the person to whom McDonald is singing; one may make the musical allegory to one’s relationship with God. It’s singable, it’s easy to reach, it’s memorable. Shawn McDonald’s album Roots is the most recent title on his official store; I think Closer will probably be a straight-to-digital release, but we’ll see.
CLOSER Lyrics
Shawn McDonald
Looking for the color on a shade of gray
Looking for the love in a drop of rain
Trying to find change in the old mundane
Everything I do just feels the same
Spending my life out in the desert
Been gone so long, feels like forever
I just want to be closer to You
I just want to be closer
I am Yours
You can have all of me
Anything, everything
I just want to be closer
A day without you is a thousand years
A day without you is a million tears
Tell me why do it alone when I am in fear
why do I run when You are so near
Been spending my life out in the weather
Been gone so long I need some shelter
I just want to be closer to You
I just want to be closer
I am Yours
You can have all of me
Anything, everything
I just want to be closer
Wherever You go
Wherever you are
I just wanna be there with You
I just want to be closer to You
I just want to be closer
I am Yours
You can have all of me
Anything, everything
I just want to be closer
I just want to be closer to You
I just want to be closer
I am Yours
You can have all of me
Anything, everything
I just want to be closer
Closer closer closer
Looking for color in a shade of gray
Looking for love in a drop of rain
