“Come Here and Hold Me (Like We Meant It)”

Verse 1 I’ve been busy bein’ strong, Holdin’ up the walls all week. But the minute I hear your voice, Lord, these knees forget to speak. Don’t ask me what I’m doin’ — You know exactly what I’m after. A little slow-burn honey, A little late-night, borrowed laughter. Chorus So come here and hold me, Not polite, not gentle — closer. Not the kind you give a memory, But the kind you give a lover. I don’t need forever, Just this moment you’re in. Come here and hold me Like the night won’t start again. Verse 2 You don’t have to promise much, I’m not twenty — I know the score. But I like the way your heartbeat Says my name behind the door. We’ve both had a life or two, We’ve both buried some old stories — So let’s trade the ones that hurt us For the ones that make us glorious. Chorus Come here and hold me, Not polite, not gentle — closer. Not the kind you give a memory, But the kind you give a lover. I don’t need forever, Just this moment you’re in. Come here and hold me Like the night won’t start again. Bridge Maybe we’re fools, But fools feel better than lonely. And maybe the truth is Tonight you’re my one and only. So take off your doubts, Throw ’em on a chair somewhere — I want the man you are, Not the man who’s tryin’ to be fair. Final Chorus Come here and hold me, Not polite, not gentle — closer. Not the kind you give a memory, But the kind you give a lover. No tomorrow talk, Just your breath on my skin — Come here and hold me Like the night won’t start again.
