The A Side from Torch Songs 7"

lyrics

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.
