I've been waiting just a long time
Just trying to get through
And it's taking all of my strength
To keep me here away from you
It doesn't matter
Just how long it takes
Nothing changes
When we're apart
It's just a little bit longer
We've come this far

One step closer to heaven baby
Means one step closer to you
There'll be no more livin'
Without you baby
I'll be counting each minute
'Till i'm back to you
One step closer to heaven baby
Hold on hold on
Hold on to my lovin'

I've been saving every little bit
Of my love for you
I've been dreaming just to get by
It's so exciting, Fantasising
It doesn't matter
Just how long it takes
Just to know
We'll be back together
And this time its forever

One step closer to heaven baby
Means one step closer to you
There'll be no more livin'
Without you baby
I'll be counting each minute
'Till I'm back to you
One step closer to heaven baby
Hold on hold on
Hold on to my lovin'

It doesn't matter
Just how long it takes
Nothing changes
When we're apart
It's just a little bit longer
We've come this far

One step closer to heaven baby
Means one step closer to you
There'll be no more livin'
Without you baby
I'll be counting each minute
'Till i'm back to you
One step closer to heaven baby
Hold on hold on
Hold on to my lovin'

    My Interpretation:"It doesn't matter just how long it takes
    Just to know we'll be back together
    And this time it's forever

    One step closer to heaven, baby
    Means one step closer to you
    There'll be no more livin' without you, baby
    I' m counting each minute till I'm back to you"

    seriously, i'm convinced this is 12 year olds singing about death.
    seriously. look at the lyrics. this is whack.

    General Comment:when i saw this was called 'one step closer', i thought they had covered a linkin park track.

    seriously though, this song pushes the boundaries of rediculousness.

    General Comment:they are talented kids and if i were u i wouldnt be talking cuz they are way more successful then u will proably eer be and they probably make more money then u too. besides this band is not for adults its for kids and lots of kids like pop music and their minds havent yet been corrupted by rap music

    if u dont like them leave it be

    General Comment:lets kill music ok im 13 and i know for a fact that 11 ad 12 year olds love to be in love its new to them and they think that they need it once they have it and they think it will last forever, theyre just naeve and it does make scence that theyere singing this stuf, and i doubt theyre 11 and 12 probably 12 13 and 14

    any ways i like this song its very catchy

    General Comment:i had the pleasure of debating these lyrics with a 5 year old actually. (i don't like them either, just for the record, or the music style in general) but anyway, this 5 year old has decided that these lyrics are not about love but about somebody who's friend is in heaven and they want to die soon so they can get closer to them... lol, now i could actually give her some lyrics that actually are about that.. but i think her parents might disaprove .. just felt like telling somone all of that. random i know.
