lyrics

Winter is upon me
What once was green has died
My instincts and my friends will help me stay alive
You have come along now
You're exciting and you're new
An understatement would be to say that I get along you

And I'm not sure if I can tell you what I think I need
I just wanna feel you close to me
'Cause when you're standing next to me
I find it hard to breathe
I just wanna feel you close to me

We're both grownup people
With fingers that are bold
Holding hands like we're a couple of 14-year-olds
Mistakes haven't been made yet
This affection is so pure
I can't concentrate, I can't see straight, my head's a blur

And I'm not sure if I can tell you what I think I need
I just wanna feel you close to me
With fingers interlocking
I'm glad that I can be
I just wanna feel you close to me

It's time for us to part now
If only temporarily
The events of tonight turned out unexpectedly
Don't mistake that for complaining
'Cause that's not what I mean
An understatement would be to say that I enjoyed this scene

And I'm not sure if I can tell you what I think I need
I just wanna feel you close to me
The possibility of loving you
It's tempting, I concede
I just wanna feel you close to me
