Closer Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Marth] You’re by the speaker, I’m near the door A room full of people, I notice you more You turn with your drink, catch me looking your way I find something clever, then lose what to say [Verse 2: Deni] Your jacket’s folded over one arm You laugh at a friend, and it does me no harm I cross half the room, then I slow down again Like the floor has a current that’s pulling me in [Pre-Chorus: Marth and Deni] One step, then another The crowd parts for a moment You say, “Is this your song?” I say, “Maybe, if you want it” [Chorus: Marth and Deni] Marth and Deni, closer now No big words, just a little look somehow Across the room, across the beat Two strangers finding somewhere they can meet Stay a minute, let the whole room spin We were worlds apart; now we’re stepping in [Drop: Instrumental] [Verse 3: Marth] You tell me your name, I repeat it too fast You grin, so I try it again and make it last The bass rolls under the talk in the air And suddenly there’s nowhere else I’d rather be than here [Pre-Chorus: Deni and Marth] One step, then another Your shoulder brushes mine You ask if I’m staying I say, “Give me a little more time” [Chorus: Marth and Deni] Marth and Deni, closer now No big words, just a little look somehow Across the room, across the beat Two strangers finding somewhere they can meet Stay a minute, let the whole room spin We were worlds apart; now we’re stepping in [Bridge: Deni] When the lights come up, we’ll see If this feeling follows you and me For now, your hand is warm in mine And we don’t have to name it tonight [Final Chorus: Marth and Deni] Marth and Deni, closer now No big words, just a little look somehow Across the room, across the beat Two strangers finding somewhere they can meet Stay a minute, let the whole room spin We were worlds apart; now we’re stepping in [Outro: Marth and Deni] Closer now Just one more minute Closer now Here in it
