Hold Me Closer
I leave a little room beside me
Even when I know you’re miles away
Sometimes I turn to tell you something
Then remember you’re not here today
Your favourite song came on this evening
I let it play instead of driving home
Funny how a voice through tiny speakers
Can make it harder being on my own
I don’t need a perfect moment
I don’t need the words rehearsed
I just want to hear you breathing
When the day has been its worst
When I close my eyes,
it’s you
In the doorway, in the morning light Nothing special we were doing
But I’d give so much for that tonight I can spend my
days
a thousand miles away
Keep myself busy till the evening slows But when the world gets
quiet
You’re the one my heart goes to
You’re the one my heart beats for
I miss the way you’d steal the covers
Then reach for me when you were cold
The way you knew when I was worried
Before I said a word at all
We used to talk about forever
Like we had all the time to spare
Now I’d trade a hundred perfect pictures For another ordinary evening there
Let me hear about your morning
Tell me something small and true
You don’t have to make it interesting I just love hearing it
from you
When I close my eyes,
it’s you
In the doorway, in the morning light Nothing special we were doing
But I’d give so much for that tonight I can spend my
days
a thousand miles away
Keep myself busy till the evening slows
But when the world gets quiet
You’re the one my heart goes to
You’re the one my heart beats for
If you’re tired, you can tell me
You don’t have to sound alright
Leave the phone beside your pillow
Let me stay with you tonight
We can sit here without speaking
We can let the minutes move
I don’t always know the answer
But I’ll listen here with you
When I close my eyes,
it’s you And I wonder
if you feel it too All the little things we lived through
All the ways I’m still close to you I can spend my
days a thousand miles away There’s one thing every distance knows When
the world gets quiet
You’re the one my heart goes to
Tell me something about your day
I’ve got nowhere else to go
Take your time…
You’re the one my heart beats for
(my heart beats for you)
