lyrics

CLOSER
Written by Brea Robertson

I feel your breath on my skin
Your hands around my waist
Your heart beating against my chest
Your lips upon my face

Pre Chorus

I know this is what I should want
But I actually want to go
I know that this is love’s gold
Oh, I don’t think so

Chorus

Don’t come any closer
I’ll have to run away
Don’t come any closer
If you want to stay

You take my hand hold it softly
lead me down the wooden pier
Don’t stare deep into my eyes
I’m afraid you’ll see my fear

Pre-Chorus
I know that this love could be real
But my heart won’t let it in
I know that this may be my one chance
To let you under my skin

Chorus
But don’t you come any closer
I’ll have to run away
Don’t come any closer
If you want to stay

Bridge
Love is patient, love is kind
But love is danger and love is blind
Love is sacred, love is true
But I’m too scared of loving you

I’m drowning
Drowning in you x2
