'Cause typically the good ones find a way of leaving
Maybe I'm a fool 'cause when you say you'll stay, I listen
Even when I'm in my head
You fix it in a heartbeat
Don't know if I'm making sense
Baby, can you speak those words
So my mind goes quiet
You're the only weight that's on my chest right now
And my heart's the only sound
If you give me your asylum, then I'll give you anything
Yeah, I won't ask much apart from you, a part of me
Losing sight, but I don't mind
I'll lose it all on you tonight
If you'll be my asylum, then I'll be your everything
Yeah, I won't ask for much apart from my heart on your sleeve
Losing sight, but I don't mind
I'll lose it all on you tonight
Now you're here, I breathe
I don't want to exhale in case a part of you leaves
You know that's how you give me chills each time you touch me
Don't know why I hesitate
When I've got no reason to push you away
Speak those words
So my mind goes quiet
You're the only weight that's on my chest right now
And my heart's the only sound
If you give me your asylum, then I'll give you anything
Yeah, I won't ask much apart from you, a part of me
Losing sight but I don't mind
I'll lose it all on you tonight
Oh, tell me that you can read my mind
'Cause it has been running overtime
Baby, just love me in slow motion 'til my heavy thoughts get lighter
If you give me your asylum, then I'll give you anything
Yeah, I won't ask much apart from you, a part of me
Close enough, ain't close enough
When you get this close to love
If you'll be my asylum, then I'll be your everything
Yeah, I won't ask for much apart from my heart on your sleeve
'Cause close enough, ain't close enough
When you get this close to love
It's never close enough
