Close To Me
‐M‐ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

J'ai tellement attendu
Ça m'a rendu malade
Alors aujourd'hui
Dans mon lit
Ce jour sans fin suffit
J'n'ai jamais vu un soir qui soit aussi
Close to me

Te voir dans le noir
J'aimerais seulement qu'ça marche
Sentir la peur
Avant qu'tu viennes

Danser avec ton ombre (tout près)
M'ouvre les yeux et je retiens mon souffle
Ouais j'en tremble

Si j'avais ta confiance
Alors ce serait sans danger
Si seulement j'étais sûr
Ma tête sur ce mur, un rêve

J'ai tellement attendu
Ça m'a rendu marteau
Alors aujourd'hui
Dans mon lit
Ce jour sans fin suffit
J'n'ai jamais vu un soir qui soit aussi
Close to me

Je verrais ton visage
Alors ce serait sans danger

Si seulement j'étais sûr
Ma tête sur ce mur un rêve
