[Verse 1] You hide behind your book Like it keeps you safe I see your small brave smile And I forget my age Your hands shake just a little When I say your name Funny how the night Can make me feel this way [Pre-Chorus] You look up through your lashes And I lose my line I came here for one shadow Now I want your light [Chorus] Come a little closer I won’t bite tonight Come a little closer You look too good in my sight If you’re feeling nervous I can take it slow Come a little closer Let that sweet blush show (show) [Verse 2] You said my stare was dangerous Then laughed at your own joke That tiny little stammer Was enough to make me choke You remind me of someone I lost in another year Same soft mouth, same kind eyes Same way you hide your fear [Pre-Chorus] I know I should be careful With a heart like yours But every word you give me Turns to silk in the dark [Chorus] Come a little closer I won’t bite tonight Come a little closer You look too good in my sight If you’re feeling nervous I can take it slow Come a little closer Let that sweet blush show (show) [Bridge] Maybe I’m a ghost of someone You’ve never met before Maybe you’re the kind of trouble I keep coming back for You said, “I don’t mind” And baby, that’s enough So I lean in, slow and smiling Like I’m learning how to love (love) [Chorus] Come a little closer I won’t bite tonight Come a little closer You look too good in my sight If you’re feeling nervous I can take it slow Come a little closer Let that sweet blush show (show)
