[Verse 1] I used to hold my cards Like they might cut my hands Love felt like a door That could slam if I ran You smiled at me so easy I almost looked away 'Cause wanting you all the way Means having less to save [Pre-Chorus] I saw your hand go quiet I felt my mind run miles Still you said, stay right here Stay a while I wanted to be brave So I let you see me shake Love is a risk we take Every day [Chorus] Keep me close, keep me close I’m still learning how to stay Keep me close, keep me close Even when I look away You are my treasure My safest place Keep me close, keep me close And I’ll do the same [Verse 2] I learned to love in pieces Keep one foot to the door Never let the good things Ask for anything more But you came in close And you saw right through All my careful little lies I built to stay from you [Pre-Chorus] We were never made of perfect Only made to bend Two broken little worlds Finding friend If the night got too heavy You would pull me through And every scar between us Told the truth [Bridge] If I flinch, don’t let me go If you fall, I’ll be there low We can heal in borrowed pieces We can bloom in broken places All the hurt, it changed the view But it never changed me and you [Final Chorus] Keep me close, keep me close We still know the way to stay Keep me close, keep me close Through the dark and through the gray You are my treasure My home, my grace Keep me close, keep me close And I’ll do the same
