Closer (Time Stops Breathing)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Picture yourself painted in black starlite skies
Like a painted canvas stained to white
Will make believe we were better of this way
Shadows taking shape in scarlet light
Give in, give up, and soak into the airwaves
Get up, get in, and bring yourself to me
Breathe in, breathe out, fingertips and heartbeats
Are all we need
Time stops breathing for a moment
If right here, right now, is all we've got
We'd better make it last
So take me and make me
A part of you apart from you tonight
Secrets on cell phones
And begged for in tongues
Behind our breath
Beneath our lungs
Closer to closure
Then we ever been
Before our bodies break and fall again
Give in, give up, and soak into the airwaves
Get up, get in, and bring yourself to me
Breathe in, breathe out, fingertips and heartbeats
Are all we need
Time stops breathing for a moment
If right here, right now, is all we've got
We'd better make it last
So take me and make me
A part of you apart from you tonight
Tonight, I'll pour myself around you
Come light, I'll learn to live without you
In a flash, you'll be gone like the moon at the dawn
Of a brand new day
And alone, alone, alone, I'll carry on
Time stops breathing for a moment
If right here, right now, is all we've got
We'd better make it last
So take me and make me
A part of you apart from you tonight
