Iris (Hold Me Close)

The star, that gives us light, has been gone a while

But it's not an illusion

The ache

In my heart

Is so much a part

Of who I am

Something in your eyes took a thousand years to get here

Something in your eyes took a thousand years, a thousand years

Hold me close, hold me close and don't let me go

Hold me close, like I'm someone that you might know

Hold me close, the darkness just lets us see

Who we are, I've got your life inside of me

Iris

Iris

Once we are born, we begin to forget

The very reason we came

But you, I'm sure, I've met

Long before the night, the stars went out, we're meeting up again

Hold me close, hold me close and don't let me go

Hold me close, like I'm someone that you might know

Hold me close, the darkness just lets us see

Who we are, I've got your life inside of me

Iris

Iris

The stars are bright, but do they know

The universe is beautiful but cold?

You took me by the hand

I thought that I was leading you

But it was you

Made me your man, machine

I dream

Where you are

Iris standing in the hall

She tells me I can do it all

Iris wakes to my nightmares

Don't fear the world, it isn't there

Iris playing on the strand

She buries the boy beneath the sand

Iris says that I will be the death of her

It was not me

Iris

Iris

She says free yourself to be yourself

If only you could see yourself

Free yourself to be yourself

If only you could see
