[Verse 1] Long day stuck on my skin Shoes by the door again My shoulders feel like stone I keep checking my phone The room gets quiet fast Clock hands crawl right past I just want to fall apart And land inside your heart [Pre-Chorus] If I could shut it down I’d let the whole world fade One small breath, one slow turn And drift your way [Chorus] Hold me close tonight Hold me close tonight I want to sleep in your arms Let the hard day go dark Hold me close tonight Hold me close tonight I want to dream in your arms Till the morning comes soft [Verse 2] My cup’s gone cold again Paper, noise, and rain I’ve been carrying too much Need your steady touch Put my head on your chest Let your calm do the rest I don’t need a single word Just the safest place I’ve heard [Pre-Chorus] If I could shut it down I’d let the whole world fade One small breath, one slow turn And drift your way [Chorus] Hold me close tonight Hold me close tonight I want to sleep in your arms Let the hard day go dark Hold me close tonight Hold me close tonight I want to dream in your arms Till the morning comes soft [Bridge] If the night runs long Keep me where I belong With your arms around my mind I can leave it all behind [Final Chorus] Hold me close tonight Hold me close tonight I want to sleep in your arms Let the hard day go dark Hold me close tonight Hold me close tonight I want to dream in your arms Till the morning comes soft
