Lyrics

HOLD ME CLOSE

Hush…the window’s open wide
I can hear the drumming as the raindrops fall outside
And half the world’s asleep
Cuddled up inside this room I pray our souls to keep

This moment feels like no other
No matter how I try to utter
The longer the night, the deeper the darkness

Night has fallen like a blanket
The sun dragged from the sky I sank it
The longer the night, the longer I lie here

Hold me close, hold me still
Hold me together, I hope you always will
Lift me up, tell me you will stay
Squeeze me ‘til I barely breathe
Don’t let me slip away

Here---words have no meaning
Lies are stripped away completely
I promise this: a quiet kiss

I don’t care what came before this
If I can’t change it then it’s useless
I only know---I was alone

Hold me close, hold me still
Hold me together, I hope you always will
Lift me up, tell me you will stay
Squeeze me ‘til I barely breathe
Don’t let me slip away
