[Intro] [Verse 1] The clock on the wall is ticking too loud A thief in the night, stealing time from the crowd The world outside is a cold, rushing stream But here in the quiet, we’re living a dream Your heartbeat is steady, a rhythm I know A fortress against all the winds that will blow [Pre-Chorus] I see the morning light creep on the floor But I’m not ready to walk out that door So close the curtains, let’s hide from the day There’s only one thing I need to say [Chorus] Don’t let me go, not just yet Let’s linger in moments we won't forget Keep me wrapped in the warmth of your arms Shielded away from the world and its harms I need the scent of your cologne in the air The touch of your hand running through my hair Just hold me tighter, make the shadows retreat Safe in your shelter, my heart skips a beat Don’t let me go (Please don't let go) [Bridge] [Verse 2] Your mighty frame is the castle I keep Watching over me while I’m asleep The strength in your shoulders, the calm in your breath A love that protects me from sorrow and death I’m fragile today, like glass in the rain But you are the anchor that steadies the pain [Pre-Chorus] I see the morning light creep on the floor But I’m not ready to walk out that door So close the curtains, let’s hide from the day There’s only one thing I need to say [Chorus] Don’t let me go, not just yet Let’s linger in moments we won't forget Keep me wrapped in the warmth of your arms Shielded away from the world and its harms I need the scent of your cologne in the air The touch of your hand running through my hair Just hold me tighter, make the shadows retreat Safe in your shelter, my heart skips a beat Don’t let me go (Please don't let go) [Bridge] The world is too heavy, the city too wide I need a place where my spirit can hide Five more minutes, or maybe an hour Give me your stillness, give me your power Just stay right here Keep me near [Chorus] Don’t let me go, not just yet Let’s linger in moments we won't forget Keep me wrapped in the warmth of your arms Shielded away from the world and its harms I need the scent of your cologne in the air The touch of your hand running through my hair Just hold me tighter, make the shadows retreat Safe in your shelter, my heart skips a beat Don’t let me go (Please don't let go) Don’t let me go, not just yet Let’s linger in moments we won't forget Keep me wrapped in the warmth of your arms Shielded away from the world and its harms I need the scent of your cologne in the air The touch of your hand running through my hair Just hold me tighter, make the shadows retreat Safe in your shelter, my heart skips a beat Don’t let me go (Please don't let go) [Outro] Feel the warmth of your hands once again A healing balm for the worry and strain Protected and safe, where I belong Right here with you is where I am strong Don’t let me go (Please don't let go) Just hold me close Don’t let me go
