NOTHING ELSE MATTERS [INTRO — soft piano, distant guitar] I have my quiet mind now For once, I heard just how you felt I opened up my ears And found a world beneath the beats [VERSE 1] ‘Cause we’re a lot alike My restless heart by candlelight A petal chasing butterflies Around a carousel tonight [PRE-CHORUS] And we’re spinning Still spinning… Till everything disappears [CHORUS] Would you catch me when I’m falling? I’ll give you every piece I kept inside Would you stay until the morning? I’ll give you every inch of me tonight Let the whole world fade away I only want you here to stay If everything around us disappears I won’t care tonight [VERSE 2] We’ve kept our hearts shut tight Now every window floods with light Say one more word, we’re on our way Your darkness doesn’t scare me We’re more alike than we admit Two little flames refusing to quit A petal and a butterfly Still circling through the night [CHORUS] Would you catch me when I’m falling? I’ll give you every piece I kept inside Would you stay until the morning? I’ll give you every inch of me tonight Let the whole world fade away I only want you here to stay If everything around us disappears I won’t care tonight [BRIDGE — instrumentation falls away] Even when the cold comes crashing through I’m putting all my hope in you I’m glad they’ll never understand us I put my mind inside your palms My dreams inside your arms And suddenly the noise is gone [FINAL BUILD] Let it disappear Let it disappear Let it disappear tonight [FINAL CHORUS — explosive] WOULD YOU CATCH ME WHEN I’M FALLING? I’LL GIVE YOU EVERY PIECE I KEPT INSIDE WOULD YOU STAY UNTIL THE MORNING? I’LL GIVE YOU EVERY INCH OF ME TONIGHT LET THE WHOLE WORLD FADE AWAY I ONLY WANT YOU HERE TO STAY [Backing vocals] Fade away… Fade away… Fade away… [OUTRO — exhausted, breathless] I want it all… All of you… Every little piece… You.
