Close

How will I know if your heart is beating
If it's not next to mine?
It’s better for me to keep my head on your chest
Where I can hear it all the time
How will I sleep if I can't time my breathing to yours?
The world is a terrible place unless I'm in your arms

I wanna be close
Close to you
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be close
Close to you
I wanna be closer to you

How will I breathe if I can't speak
Because you steal all the air in the room?
But it's okay, take my life in your hands
Because I believe in you
I'll hold your hands and kiss your scars
Tracing all the shapes and lines
The past is the past and my future starts now
When I look in your eyes

I wanna be close
Close to you
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be close
Close to you
I wanna be closer to you

So lock your fingers through mine
Close your eyes
Take baby steps, baby steps
Baby it'll be alright
I don't want to ever be a star
Unless I'm in your sky
For you I'd shine
For you I'd shine

I wanna be close
Close to you
I wanna be closer to you
I wanna be close
Close to you
I wanna be closer to you
