Lyrics

[Chorus]
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
[Verse 1]
I will be in the bar
With my head on the bar
I am now a central part
Of your mind's landscape
Whether you care or do not
Yeah, I've made up your mind
[Chorus]
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
[Verse 2]
Beware
I bear more grudges
Than lonely High Court judges
When you sleep I will creep into your thoughts
Like a bad debt that you can't pay
Take the easy way and give in
[Bridge]
Yeah, and let me in
Oh, let me in
Oh, let me, oh
Let me in
It's war, it's war, it's war, it's war, it's war, war, war, war
[Outro]
Oh, let me in
Ah, the closer I get
Ah, you're asking for it
Ah, the closer I get
Oh, the closer I
