Closing In
Imogen Heap · Speak For Yourself (2005)
No, I just canÂ’t sit stillÂ….are we there, yet?
Takes me backÂ…I remember.
Such a magical placeÂ…it was so...youÂ…
Closing inÂ…I hope that youÂ’re my gift.
Closing inÂ…I hope that you find your way.
Frame by frameÂ…with speed ahead.
The city dissolving, the thread of your love in head lights.
Is it safe nowÂ…will your arms be open?
I just have to kiss youÂ…try and stop me.
Closing inÂ…I hope that youÂ’re my gift.
Closing inÂ…I hope that you find your way.
Closing inÂ…itÂ’s all that I wantÂ… in the whole world.
Closing inÂ…please be mineÂ… please be there.
What are you like?
Where did you get to?
No one on out, I think.
You didnÂ’t hold me, for any longer.
What you want for the fear of love?
Oh, donÂ’t you be leaving us.
Could IÂ’ve got the both of us? You can!
Leave that to me!
Closing inÂ…I hope that youÂ’re my gift.
Closing inÂ…I hope that you find your way.
Closing inÂ…closing inÂ…
