Cars they pass us
The traffic stops
The street that divides us
I want to cross
So how do I say
In the most simple
How I feel tonight

I should hold you closer
'Cause you feel so far from me
With your heart is where I need to be, where I need to be
Hold you closer
And say all that you need to know
Is that I am never letting go
And whisper you're beautiful

Time can heal or tear apart
So we find what reminds us
Of the very first spark
If you slip away what could I say
To bring you home tonight

I should hold you closer
Cause you feel so far from me
With your heart is where I need to be, where I need to be
Hold you closer
And say all that you need to know
Is that I am never letting go
And whisper you're beautiful

A thousand poems
With words to build you up
And I hope that what I say
What I say can be enough
What I say can be enough
What I can say be enough
What I say can be enough

I should hold you closer
Cause you feel so far from me
With your heart is where I need to be, where I need to be
Hold you closer
And say all that you need to know
Is that I am never letting go
And whisper you're beautiful

Hold you closer
Cause you feel so far from me
With your heart is where I need to be, where I need to be
Hold you closer
And whisper you're beautiful
With your heart is where I need to
And whisper you're beautiful
Cars they pass us, and my heart stops
