Close To You Gracie Abrams Lyrics

(Close to you)
(Close to you)

I don’t got a single problem with provocative
See the bodies, how they burn, it’s just the way it is
Smoky, dark, crowded room, I need nothing
Under pink light in June (Ahh)
I was so cool, but then, all of a sudden
You saw me look at you

I burn for you
And you don’t even know my name
If you asked me to
I’d give up everything

To be close to you
Pull the trigger on the gun I gave you when we met
I wanna be close to you
Break my heart and start a fire, you got me overnight
Just let me be

Close to you, close to you, close to you
(Just let me be) Oh, close to you, close to you, close to you

And now your mouth is moving, cinematic timing
You pull me in and touch my neck, and now I’m dying
You should be mine for life, I’ll be signing
Every dotted line (Ahh)
Chemical override, ultraviolet
You could be mine tonight

And I burn for you
And you don’t even know my name
If you asked me to
I’d give you everything

To be close to you
Pull the trigger on the gun I gave you when we met
I wanna be close to you
Break my heart and start a fire, you got me overnight
Just let me be

Close to you, close to you, close to you
(Just let me be) Oh, close to you, close to you, close to you

I burn for you
Mm

To be close to you
Pull the trigger on the gun I gave you when we met
I wanna be close to you
Break my heart and start a fire, you got me overnight
Just let me be

Close to you (To you), close to you (To you)
Close to you (To you, just let me be close)
Oh, close to you (Ooh), close to you (To you)
Close to you (Just let me be)
Oh, close to you (Ahh), close to you (Ahh)
Close to you (Just let me be)

Oh, close to you, close to you
Close to you
