Australian Unwrapped’s Chosen Song from The Chainsmokers:
Closer
Length: 4:04
Release: 2016
Opening Lyrics:
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
Moved to the city in a broke-down car, and
Four years, no calls
Now you’re looking pretty in a hotel bar, and
I-I-I can’t stop
No, I-I-I can’t stop
