[Verse 1 — Male] The city lights are turning gold The night is warm, the air is slow I felt the rhythm in my chest Before your shadow crossed the room
You looked at me, the world grew still One quiet spark became a flame No need to ask where this will go Your eyes already know my name
[Pre-Chorus — Male] Come a little closer Let the silence disappear Every beat is drawing us A little more from here
[Chorus — Duet] Closer than the tide Pulling us together Closer than the night Moving like forever
When your hand finds mine All the stars awaken Closer than the tide There’s no heart worth saving From this love we’re making
[Post-Chorus — Duet] Oh-oh, closer Oh-oh, into the blue Oh-oh, closer I’m coming back to you
[Instrumental Groove]
[Verse 2 — Female] I used to keep my feelings safe Behind a door I never showed But something in the way you move Has opened up a softer road
The moon is resting on your skin The drums are speaking underneath I let the moment carry me And feel your heartbeat next to me
[Pre-Chorus — Female] Come a little closer Let the distance disappear Every beat is drawing us A little more from here
[Chorus — Duet] Closer than the tide Pulling us together Closer than the night Moving like forever
When your hand finds mine All the stars awaken Closer than the tide There’s no heart worth saving From this love we’re making
[Dance Break]
[Bridge — Male and Female] [Male] If morning finds us changed [Female] Let it find us side by side [Male] We don’t need to name this feeling [Female] We can let it be our guide
[Duet] Through the rhythm, through the blue Every road leads back to you
[Final Chorus — Duet] Closer than the tide Pulling us together Closer than the night Moving like forever
When your hand finds mine All the stars awaken Closer than the tide There’s no heart worth saving From this love we’re making
[Outro — Duet] Oh-oh, closer Oh-oh, into the blue Oh-oh, closer I’m coming back to you
