Hold Me Closer
Reverse Order Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pick your words carefully,
They might be with you forever,
And you want them to flow perfectly,
Just think of something fast,
It doesn't have to mean a thing,
But we've been sitting here for hours,
And I'm loosing hope for all our dreams.
Hold me Closer,
We both know this is far from over,
Hold me faster,
We both know this is what we were after,
All our lives, sitting side by side with the danger we used to hide,
Is this how it feels to be alive.

Listening so carefully,
My words mean nearly everything and I want them to flow perfectly,
My mental states not right,
But I know and I believe,
That we can make this more than dreams,
As long as your right here with me.

Hold me Closer,
We both know this is far from over,
Hold me faster,
We both know this is what we were after,
All our lives, sitting side by side with the danger we used to hide,
Is this how it feels to be alive.

Relax just breathe,
We're gonna be alright,
Relax just breathe,
Breathe.

Hold me Closer,
We both know this is far from over,
Hold me faster,
We both know this is what we were after,




All our lives, sitting side by side with the danger we used to hide,
Is this how it feels to be alive.
