Closer Than My Heartbeat

[Verse 1]

You’re lying on my hoodie

Bare feet on the couch

That half-finished movie

We keep talking over now

You trace my name

In the fog on your glass

Say

“Don’t let this

Be another thing that slips too fast”

[Chorus]

I wanna be closer than my heartbeat

Right where your head falls every night

I wanna hold the part of you

You say you always try to hide

If the world gets loud

And your courage comes apart

Come into my arms

I’ll be closer than my heartbeat

Closer than my heartbeat to your heart

[Verse 2]

You pick at that old bracelet

From some other time

Say

“I’m always the secret

On somebody’s side”

But your stories don’t scare me

They just make you real

Every broken little promise

Gives me one more thing to heal

[Chorus]

I wanna be closer than my heartbeat

Right where your head falls every night

I wanna hold the part of you

You say you always try to hide

If the world gets loud

And your courage comes apart

Come into my arms

I’ll be closer than my heartbeat

Closer than my heartbeat to your heart

[Bridge]

You don’t have to earn this

You don’t have to prove

There’s nothing you could show me

That would make me move

Say the word

I’m staying

Right here in the dark

Counting every breath

Between your heart and my heart

[Chorus]

I wanna be closer than my heartbeat

Right where your head falls every night

I wanna hold the part of you

You say you always try to hide

If the world gets loud

And your courage comes apart

Come into my arms

I’ll be closer than my heartbeat

Closer than my heartbeat to your heart
