[Verse 1]

Close your eyes

Just to hear who is moving

No one needs eyes

I know we didn't even realize we were holding on

Oh, so strongly

Softly be mine


[Chorus]

And so you stand alone trusting the floor

Afraid of coming forth

Seen holding your small hands

Against the wall

As if to move is to fall

So now you feel your heart

Beating beneath your skin

It's not security

So can you close your eyes

Open your ears

And pretend we're dancing blind


[Verse 2]

Close your eyes

Just to feel who is moving

No one needs eyes

I know we didn't even realize we were holding on

Oh, so strongly

Softly be mine


[Chorus]

And so you stand alone trusting the floor

Afraid of coming forth

Seen holding your small hands

Against the wall

As if to move is to fall

So now you feel your heart

Beating beneath your skin

It's not security

So can you close your eyes

Open your ears

And pretend we're dancing blind


[Post-Chorus]

No one's too close

So loud it's felt—

So loud it's felt to your bones

And you've held on way too strong

Holding on, oh, so strong

Softly be mine, softly

Holding on, oh, so strong

Softly be mine
