Hold

The stores are all closed, let's just stay in tonight
Lock the doors, leave the world outside
We've got each other and that's all that we'll ever need
The night is an ocean, its colors so thin
The starlight like silver draped over our skin
So kiss me, my love
Tomorrow's a lifetime away

I held you in the dark of my room
And my mouth kept trying to tell you the truth
But the words that I spoke
Fell and scattered like leaves on the wind
My eyes closed, and in shapes like a dream
You were gone, as if you'd never been
Hold me closer tonight
Help me chase all these nightmares away

The headlights of cars play a delicate dance
Across the blank walls and over this bed
But right now, my eyes exist only for you
In a whisper so close to a plea
I asked you, "please, never leave"
"Please, stay with me"

I held you in the dark of my room
And my mouth kept trying to tell you the truth
But the words that I spoke
Fell and scattered like leaves on the wind
My eyes closed, and in shapes like a dream
You were gone, as if you'd never been
Hold me closer tonight
Help me chase all these nightmares away

You're the light of the moon
On a lonely and sleepless night
You're the glass in the mirror
Revealing all that I've tried to hide
You're the candle that turns all these shapes
Into shadows so tall
You're the ghost in the picture
The image I can never make out

I held you in the dark of my room
And my mouth kept trying to tell you the truth
But the words that I spoke
Fell and scattered like leaves on the wind
My eyes closed, and in shapes like a dream
You were gone, as if you'd never been
Hold me closer tonight
Help me chase all these nightmares away
Hold me closer tonight
Help me chase all these nightmares away
Hold me closer tonight
Help me chase all these nightmares away
