Hold Me Close 

how long do I wait 
to get you closer? 
do you think that I have got 
forever? (and a day) 
for all of this I didn't ask 
(so what am I to do?) 
and I try so hard to understand 
(you're all alone) 

hold me close and don't let go 
I'm drowning slowly 
draw me into you again 
and breathe right through me 
hold me close and don't let go 
I'm drowning slowly 
draw me into you again 
and breathe right through me 

do I don the cloak 
of the repenter? 
or do I feel the pull back to 
the center (of the open?) 
for all of this I didn't ask 
(so what am I to do?) 
and I try so hard to understand 
(you're all alone)
