A song that makes me think of Clay and Parker; Better Than Ezra's "Closer"

Better Than Ezra is one of my favorite bands, and I was listening to their 2001 album Closer while at work today. The title track came on, and not having listened to it for a while, I found myself near tears. The song made me think of Clay and Parker, especially the second verse.

This video is just an acoustic studio recording, as they never released it as a single. Someone MIGHT find this song and pass this along to Clay and Jaymes in consideration for the next album....it'd be perfect for him!

Here are the lyrics:


And the morning light was breaking
Slowly moving across the bed
He gets up without her waking
To the voices in his head

Through the shadows in the hallway
To the room they painted blue
And on the inside he is frightened
At a loss for what to do

Until he opens up his eyes
And the angels all look down

Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win

And he knows his life is changing
It’s never easy letting go
For the first time you are mortal
As the child before you grows
And he wonders at the sight
Of the joy that he has found

Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win

And what would you intend to find?
Solitude? your peace of mind?
Holding out for something less
Than touching the hand of God?

Even closer than this life
Closer than this faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win

Closer than this life
Closer finally
Living for the only thing
You ever made complete
Oh, for the one thing
That you both did perfectly
