Closer Then Sleep

[Intro – Shimmering pads, distant chimes]
Mm…
Yeah…
[Verse 1 – Gentle, intimate]
Your shadow leans against the wall,
Moonlight writing what we won’t call.
Every breath between us slows,
Like the night already knows.
Your hand finds mine without a sound,
We don’t ask, we don’t look down.
In this quiet, hearts align,
Falling softly, out of time.
[Pre-Chorus – Subtle lift]
No words needed, no disguise,
I can feel you in my eyes.
Every moment feels so true,
Like the dark was made for you.
[Chorus – Dreamy, romantic]
You’re closer than sleep tonight,
Closer than the stars’ soft light.
When the world begins to fade,
You’re the wish I never made.
Hold me in this gentle deep,
Where the promises don’t speak.
You’re closer than sleep to me,
Right where I’m meant to be.
[Verse 2 – Floating, warm]
Soft chimes sway with every move,
Like the room is breathing too.
Time dissolves, the air feels thin,
Every touch pulls me in.
If tomorrow finds us new,
I’ll still carry this with you.
Nothing loud, nothing rushed,
Just the comfort of your hush.
[Pre-Chorus – Build soft]
I don’t need to name the spark,
I can feel it in the dark.
Every fear just drifts away,
When you’re this close, I want to stay.
[Chorus – Fuller, layered]
You’re closer than sleep tonight,
Closer than the moon’s low light.
When the edges disappear,
You’re the calm that pulls me near.
Wrap me in your quiet heat,
Every heartbeat feels complete.
You’re closer than sleep to me,
Soft as a dream I get to keep.
[Bridge – Airy, suspended]
If this moment slips away,
It still taught my heart to stay.
I don’t need forever’s proof,
Just this truth inside of you.
[Final Chorus – Gentle bloom]
You’re closer than sleep tonight,
Closer than the ache I fight.
If I fall, don’t wake me yet,
This is all I want to get.
In your arms, the world feels small,
Nothing hurts, nothing calls.
You’re closer than sleep to me,
And that’s enough eternity.
[Outro – Fading pads, breath]
Mm…
Stay close…
