Lyrics: KEYHOLE
Music: KEYHOLE
(Verse 1 - A)
The moonlight cuts a shadow on the floor
I’m leaning back against the heavy door
You’re staring at the screen, a distant light
I’m craving all your focus here tonight
I hate the way the world can pull you in
I want to be the place where you begin
(Verse 1 - B)
So turn it off, let’s leave the noise behind
There’s nowhere else for you to be, you’ll find
Your heartbeat is the only song I need
A rhythm that I’m desperate to feed
(Chorus)
So darling, let me have you all to myself
Forget the world, leave it on the shelf
I want your rhythm, every single breath
A love that feels like life and not like death
Don’t share a moment with the crowd out there
I’m claiming you, and I don’t really care
If they forget your name, if you disappear
As long as you are locked in here with me, my dear
(Verse 2 - A)
The city’s calling out your name again
I see you checking messages from men
Who don’t know how to look into your eyes
I’m tired of the masquerades and lies
I want to strip the layers from your soul
And play the only role that makes you whole
(Verse 2 - B)
Let them wonder where you’ve gone away
We’ve got no reasons left for them to stay
Your skin is like a map I want to trace
Until I’ve memorized every single space
(Chorus)
So darling, let me have you all to myself
Forget the world, leave it on the shelf
I want your rhythm, every single breath
A love that feels like life and not like death
Don’t share a moment with the crowd out there
I’m claiming you, and I don’t really care
If they forget your name, if you disappear
As long as you are locked in here with me, my dear
(C-Melody)
Is it a crime to want a little greed?
To be the only source of what you need?
I’m drowning in the velvet of your dark
I’m searching for a sign, a dying spark
Don’t fight the pull, just give it up to me
I’ll be the only thing that you can see
(Bridge)
(Slow and stripped back)
Just let me keep you for a little while
No photographs, no sharing just your smile
In this dark room, we’re the only light
Stay mine until the ending of the night
Just mine
(Final Chorus )
So darling, let me have you all to myself
Forget the world, leave it on the shelf
I want your rhythm, every single breath
A love that feels like life and not like death
Don’t share a heartbeat with the world out there
I’m claiming you, and I don’t really care
If they forget your name, if you disappear
As long as you are locked in here with me, my dear
