Closer to you than I have ever been
Drawing you to your arms my life it begins
And it was all pale and gray
Where the sun swept away
Lying in the field deep within the whispering grass
Pretending not to feel
Pretending not to ask

Do you want my love
Do you want it for real
To feel my heart inside of you
To turn me inside out to surround you
To keep you warm from the cold
And what if our love could unfold

And I know I haven’t worked out everything and I know I have a long way to go
But who’s to say we grow wiser as we solidify all we know
I’m just saying I’m a fool
For saving my breath when

I know I want your love
I know I want it for real
To feel your heart inside of me
To turn you inside out to surround me
To keep us both from the cold
And what if our love could unfold

Let the clouds roll in and thunder and rain
We’ll dance with the angels splashing in the lane
We’ll escape together and run away

Do you want my love
Do you want it for real
To feel my heart inside of you
To turn me inside out to surround you
To keep you warm from the cold
I want our love to unfold
