Closer Than the Music

They can keep the neon, keep the noise, keep the crowded rooms

Cause I've had more peace in your arms than in a thousand afternoons

And I've been the man who tried to carry everything alone

But you can hear the break in my voice before I even show it

You don't fix me, you don't fight me, you just stay

And that's what saves me

Cause you're closer than the music when the song starts fading out

Closer than the whiskey when I'm trying to drown my doubts

You're the hand on my heartbeat when my world starts coming loose

Yeah, you're closer than the music and I don't know how I live without you

I love you in the small house when the house is barely lit

And you walk back from the hallway and you crawl right into this

And I swear the air gets warmer soon as you lay down

Like the whole world holds its breath just to hear you breathing now

And if I ever lose my words, if I ever lose my nerve, just look at me, you'll know it's true

Cause you're closer than the music when the song starts fading out

Closer than the whiskey when I'm trying to drown my doubts

You're the hand on my heartbeat when my world starts coming loose

Yeah, you're closer than the music and I don't know how I live without you

I don't need a stage or a spotlight

Don't need a crowd screaming my name

I just need you in the dark doing that quiet thing you do where you love me back the same

If the world goes cold tomorrow, if the ceiling falls tonight

I'll still be rich as any man alive if you're by my side

Yeah, you're closer than the music when the song starts fading out

Closer than the whiskey when I'm trying to drown my doubts

You're the hand on my heartbeat when my world starts coming loose

Yeah, you're closer than the music and I don't know how I live without you

If I'm being honest, you're my favorite song

Thanks for watching
