CLOSE TO ME (REMIX) Late-Night ...

[Intro – 0:00–0:15]
(Yeah, yeah)
It's 2 AM, you still on my mind,
Your name lights up, I forget the time.
We both got scars we don't wanna show,
But when you're with me, I don't feel alone.
[Chorus – 0:15–0:39]
Stay close to me, don't fade away,
I need your love when the skies turn gray.
You know my flaws, still you choose to stay,
We fight all night, then we kiss the pain.
Don't let pride get between our hearts,
We came too far just to fall apart.
If the whole world leaves, you're all I need,
Baby, stay right here, close to me.
[Verse 1 – 0:39–1:17]
I've been driving through the city with your voice in my head,
Thinking 'bout the little things we should've never said.
Got a thousand unread texts, but I'm reading yours twice,
You the only one who knows what I'm feeling inside.
I know I get distant when the pressure gets heavy,
You say you want forever, girl, I'm hoping you're ready.
I don't wanna make promises I can't keep,
But I'd rather lose sleep than lose you to the streets.
You know the real me, not the one they see,
No expensive gifts could buy your loyalty.
Got my heart on the line, ain't no guarantee,
But I ain't looking for another, you're enough for me.
[Pre-Chorus – 1:17–1:29]
And if the lights go out tonight,
Would you still be by my side?
We don't gotta get it perfect,
Just tell me that we're worth it.
[Chorus – 1:29–1:53]
Stay close to me, don't fade away,
I need your love when the skies turn gray.
You know my flaws, still you choose to stay,
We fight all night, then we kiss the pain.
Don't let pride get between our hearts,
We came too far just to fall apart.
If the whole world leaves, you're all I need,
Baby, stay right here, close to me.
[Verse 2 – 1:53–2:25]
You don't want diamonds, you want honesty,
You want the man I said that I would always be.
I know the late nights put a strain on trust,
But I ain't entertaining anybody but us.
I could book a flight, take you somewhere warm,
But that won't fix the nights I left you in the storm.
So I'm showing up different, putting actions first,
Learning how to love you when we're both at our worst.
No more leaving when the conversations get deep,
No more saying that I'm fine when it's killing me.
You ain't gotta chase a love that's supposed to be free,
Girl, I'm right here, you can count on me.
[Final Chorus – 2:25–2:40]
Stay close to me, don't fade away,
Even when the sunshine turns to rain.
I don't need perfect, I just need real,
You're the only one who knows how I feel.
If the world goes cold, you're all I need,
Baby, stay right here, close to me.
[Outro – 2:40–2:45]
(Yeah, yeah)
No more running, no more leaving,
Just you and me.
