I watched you breathe in And I wished you'd stop Only for long enough Long enough It's hard to say Separate or combine I ask you one last time Did I hold you too tight? Did I not let enough light in? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh If a feeling appears If your mind should sway It's not a secret you should keep I won't let you slip away We used to be closer than this We used to be closer than this We used to get closer than this Is it something you missed? We used to be closer than this We used to be closer than this We used to get closer than this Is it something you missed? Winged or chained I ask you would you have stayed Did I hold you too tight? Did I not let enough light in? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
