Closer Tonight
Christopher Jak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kiss me just so I know I'm alive
Hold me close and close your eyes
Feel my body fall and rise
And I sleep...
Are you and angel?
You ...
Sweeter still and twice as wise
Have you come here to ease my mind
Or to give my heart a home?
Hold my closer tonight
Closer tonight
Let me hide my face in your neck
Whisper secrets I have kept
Fall aseep with a smile on my breath
That tells me I'm not alone
And hold me closer tonight
Closer tonight
I know you...
You're the one that makes me love this world
My ... is pure
My colors swirl
I'm just a boy and you're more than everything
Hold me closer
I know you...
You're the one that makes this body sing
I'll give you all... my everything
Because you teach me there is always something more
When you hold me
You hold my heart... you hold my hand
You hold my wishes by a thread
You hold my breath till death is dead
I know I'm not
Hold me closer tonight
Closer tonight




Hold me closer tonight
Closer
