Closer You Get

Hollow nights
Anemic in every way
There was barely a pulse on the street
The silence unnerving
And what’s most disturbing
I got used to the gloom
The soul of the city admitting defeat
Then you came with fire in your eyes
Setting my world aflame with no compromise

You’ve got the rhythm
The way that you move
Lifting me higher
When you’re down in the groove
Your body’s electric
I’m feeling your heat
The closer you get
Oh, my heart skips a beat

Uninspired
A life of tired cliches
Out of touch, out of tune
Passions corroded
Emotions eroded
I need so much more
Release me from my cocoon.
Then you came
Like a dangerous child
Relentless and charming
Driving me wild

You’ve got the rhythm
The way that you move
Lifting me higher
When you’re down in the groove
Your body’s electric
I’m feeling your heat
And the closer you get
Oh, my heart skips a beat

Then you came with fire in your eyes
Setting my world aflame with no compromise
Fire in your eyes

You’ve got the rhythm
The way that you move
Lifting me higher
When you’re down in the groove
Your body’s electric
I’m feeling your heat
The closer you get
My heart skips a beat
You’ve got that rhythm
Makes me complete
The closer you get
Oh, my heart skips a beat

My heart skips a beat…
