Closing In
Rustic Overtones feat. Imogen Heap Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't wait
To be with you
No I just can't sit still,
Are we there yet?
Takes me back,
I remember
Such a magical place
It was so, you

Closing in
I hope that you make it
Closing in
I hope that you find your way

Frame by frame,
With speed ahead
The city dissolving,
The thread of your love in the headlights
Is it safe now?
Will your arms be open?
I just have to kiss you,
Try and stop me

Closing in
I hope that you make it
Closing in
I hope that you find your way
Closing in
It's all that I want in the whole world
Closing in
Please be there, please be there

What are you like?
Where did you get to?
Know what I think?
You didn't hold me, for any longer
What do you want for the fear of love?
Or don't you believe enough?
Well I'll cover both of us
You can leave that to me!

Closing in
I hope that you'll make it
Closing in




I hope that you find your way
Closing in, closing in.

Pocket Sun
Imogen Heap
Album: B-Sides and Unreleased

Hold your head down in a ducking pond
See how I breathe the bubbles
Pick a few stars out for a cloudy night
I could tame damien
My love infectious bites you
I have a pocket sun boy
I'm everything that burns in you
Yeah in my evergreen day, in my beautiful day
In my element day, I know I can feel the dawn
In my evergreen day, in my beautiful day
I know I can feel the dawn
Peel the skin of love and lay it on me
My window wide and open
Free fall from the moon
My earth, my friend will catch me
I'm a carbonator
I'm the fizz for all I want to be
I'll free the sword
I'm the killer for all that hurts in me
In my evergreen day, in my beautiful day
In my element day, I know I can feel the dawn
In my evergreen day, in my beautiful day
I know I can feel the dawn
Faint reminders of the rerun flicks of old days
Caught in iron till it melts and bleeds them life
In my evergreen day, in my beautiful day
In my element day, I know I can feel the dawn
In my evergreen day, in my beautiful day
I know I can feel the dawn, feel the dawn
In my evergreen day x6
I know I can feel the dawn
