Closer To You in the key of E major
4/4 80-84 bpm
I
Move a little bit closer to you.
Watch the world spinning from your view.
I turn away,
I’m paralysed beneath your gaze.
II
Feel a little lonely at night,
Bring you into my dreams sometimes.
Can’t tell if my eyes,
Betray what is simmering inside.
Chorus
I move a little bit closer to you.
Feel the heat around my body touch,
Touch the warmth around you,
Touch the burning space surrounding you.
III
Something’s there making us wait,
Something there that we cannot name,
Keeps us in dreams
Forever in between
Chorus
I move a little bit closer to you.
Feel the heat around my body touch,
Touch the warmth around you,
Touch the burning space around you.
Summertime the world is alight,
But it’s all the time I need you by my side,
Leave a space to let the light through,
As I move closer to you.
Bridge
In a second you’re gone, but I’m still holding onto the thought of you
Like it could make my dreams come true.
Say you feel it as well, that invisible spell keeping me in a
Silent conversation with you.
Outro
So I move a little bit closer to you.
Watch the world spinning from your view.
Let it all fall through.
So it’s just, just us two.

Thief in the key of G major
6/8 102 bpm
I
What feeling are you stealing today?
The way that you paint your face will change.
Will you move away with a sparrow’s grace,
As it swoops for worms in the rain?
II
Well I was so cautious at the start,
Took a while to open up my heart,
The minute that I did it seems like you lost your spark,
Left me alone and in the dark.
Ch 1.
You stemmed your desire put out our fire,
Ain’t no use in denying it.
Now you say to me that you’re too busy to
Find the time to ignite it.
III
Feeling broken again,
And I know he said that’s how the light gets in.
But pieces of me are just scattered in the wind,
Left where you dropped them
Instrumental/ Middle Eight
Oooh
Oooh
I could break and there’d be nothing to do,
So much of me is now part of you.
IV
Turn with that smile on your lips,
Not many are gonna guess that you’re just faking it.
But you don’t see me no more so what’s the point
Of my knowing any of it?
Outro
What feeling are you stealing today?
The shape of your face is gonna change.
Ooh again and again.
Ooh again and again.
