Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Midnight on the window glass

Your shadow stretched across the room

Slow burn crawling up my spine

I braid my fingers into you

Turn the lock and kill the light

We move like smoke on marble tile

Your breath a secret on my neck

I memorise you line by line

Chorus

Stay close

Stay closer than my skin

Don't go

Don't wander from this spin

Hold tight

Hold everything you are

We drown inside the quiet dark

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Verse 2

Soft hum like a velvet wound

Your heartbeat tangled in the floor

I trace the hollow of your throat

And beg you not to want me more

Fingers caught in tangled thread

We fall like water through the hours

Every touch a held-back word

That blooms inside the falling dark

Chorus

Stay close

Stay closer than my skin

Don't go

Don't wander from this spin

Hold tight

Hold everything you are

We drown inside the quiet dark

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

La-la-la-la

Bridge

Down down

Down where the music thins

Down down

Where your pulse begins

Fade in

Fade in and stay awhile

I want you slow

I want you soft

I want you wild

Chorus

Stay close

Stay closer than my skin

Don't go

Don't wander from this spin

Hold tight

Hold everything you are

We drown inside the quiet dark

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Mm

Mm
