[Verse 1]

Closer to burning my thumb, on this cigarette

Closer to the clock striking twelve again

Closer to my mother, closer to my friends

Closer to getting, closer to getting further back again

Closer to the ether, closer to the worms

Closer to the cancer, closer to the womb

Closer to my mother, closer to my friends

Closer to getting burnt on this cigarette

[Chorus]

I never wanted to be that guy

I never thought I would be that guy

I nеver wanted to be that guy

I nеver thought I could be that guy

[Verse 2]

Closer to the answer, closer to the keel

Closer to knowing I never really know how you feel

Closer to being empty, closer to being used

Closer to the table, then closer to the fools

Closer to my actions, closer to my fears

Closer to that high-pitched noise that rings in my ears

Closer to my mother, closer to my end

Closer to getting, closer to doin' it all over again

[Chorus]

I never wanted to be that guy

I never thought I would be that guy

I never wanted to be that guy

I never thought I would be that guy

I never wanted to be that guy

I never thought I would be that guy

I never wanted to be that guy

I never thought I would be that
