The Chainsmokers Closer Lyrics In English

[Verse 1: Andrew Taggart]
Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and that’s an issue, but I’m okay
Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again

[Pre-Chorus: Andrew Taggart]
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke-down car
And four years, no calls
Now you’re lookin’ pretty in a hotel bar
And I-I-I can’t stop
No, I-I-I can’t stop

[Chorus: Andrew Taggart]
So, baby, pull me closer
In the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can’t afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain’t ever gettin’ older

[Verse 2: Halsey]
You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you, I was insane
Stay and play that blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tucson, okay

[Pre-Chorus: Halsey, Halsey & Andrew Taggart]
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke-down car
And four years, no call
Now I’m lookin’ pretty in a hotel bar
And I-I-I can’t stop
No, I-I-I can’t stop

[Chorus: Andrew Taggart & Halsey]
So, baby, pull me closer
In the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can’t afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain’t ever gettin’ older

No, we ain’t ever gettin’ older
We ain’t ever gettin’ older
No, we ain’t ever gettin’ older
We ain’t ever gettin’ older
We ain’t ever gettin’ older
We ain’t ever gettin’ older
No, we ain’t ever gettin’ older
