Close To Me
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.
I've waited hours for this,
I've made myself so sick,
I wish I'd stayed
Asleep today
Thought this day would never end
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me
Just trying to see in the dark,
Just trying to make it work,
I feel the fear
Before you're here,
Make the shapes come much too close,
Pull my eyes out, hold my breath and wait,
'Til I shake
Well if I had your faith, I coud make it safe and clean
If only I was sure, what we had at the door was a dream.
I've waited hours for this,
I made myself so sick
I wished I'd stayed
Asleep today
Never thought this day would end,
Never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me,
But if I had your faith, I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure, what we had at the door was a dream.
