Viking Bells 2: Hold Me Close Tonight (version 2)

Verse 1

Frost on the bottle, amber lights spinning round

You grab my jacket and pull me in your sound

Sweat drips off your collar, I lose myself again

Every time you kiss me it's like a door hits open wide

I don't know how to tell you that I'm not ready tonight

Your hand is on my waist and the crowd just fades away

Like the whole world narrows down to one single gaze

Pre-Chorus

Hold on, hold on

Chorus

Bells are ringing in your eyes

Shut the room out, watch the sky freeze

I lose myself inside your midnight light

Hold me close tonight

Bells are ringing in your eyes

Holding tight till sunrise rise

Everything moves slow inside your sight

Hold me close tonight

Verse 2

Snowflakes landing on my shoulders like a benediction

Whiskey burns but you're the only warmth I need

I don't know how to tell you that I'm falling too fast

Every breath against mine turns every other thought to glass

You pull my earlobe, whisper something low

The whole room just melts into your voice and glow

Pre-Chorus

Hold on, hold on

Chorus

Bells are ringing in your eyes

Shut the room out, watch the sky freeze

I lose myself inside your midnight light

Hold me close tonight

Bells are ringing in your eyes

Holding tight till sunrise rise

Everything moves slow inside your sight

Hold me close tonight

Bridge

No more clocks ticking, no more doors to open

Nothing left but shadows and your fingers on my skin

I won't look back, I won't count the hours

Just let the quiet hold us here until it's time to start again

Chorus

Bells are ringing in your eyes

Shut the room out, watch the sky freeze

I lose myself inside your midnight light

Hold me close tonight

Bells are ringing in your eyes

Holding tight till sunrise rise

Everything moves slow inside your sight

Hold me close tonight
