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)
