Hold Me Close

Intro

oh-oh, mmh (mmh)

ah-ah-ah, ahh (yeah)

Verse

Sunrise on your window, chai steam on the sill

Tumhari hasi, little sparks, soft and warm and still

Bare feet on the floor, vinyl crackle in the room

Guitar hums a secret, slow like afternoon

Kahin door koi naghma, singing low (singing low)

Main aur tu, just moving easy, take it slow

Pre-chorus

Aankhon mein woh raah, where the light bends right (right)

Friday night, dim lamps, and your hand in mine (in mine)

Thoda sa hush, breathe with me, hush now (hush now)

Everything's okay when you stay — stay now (stay now)

Chorus

Hold me close, saath chal (saath chal), oh-oh

Smile like you mean it, smile like you mean it (yeah)

Slow dance, sway, tum ho mere paas (tum ho)

Stay with me tonight, stay with me tonight

Hold me close, saath chal (saath chal), oh-oh

Smile like you mean it, smile like you mean it (uh-huh)

Slow dance, sway, tum ho mere paas (tum ho)

Stay with me tonight, stay with me tonight

Verse

Lamhe chhote, par they grow like songs we know

Kisse purane, naye beats, rhyme with every hello

Your laugh is a melody that lingers on repeat

Mix the language of our love with a mellow beat

Coffee cups and fingerprints on paper notes (paper notes)

We write little promises nobody else knows

Pre-chorus

Raaste soft, neon-free, just us two (just us)

Gently, gently, let the evening hold on to you (hold on)

Pal yeh bright, hold it close, don't let go (don't go)

Keep the world outside while the music flows (flows)

Chorus

Hold me close, saath chal (saath chal), oh-oh

Smile like you mean it, smile like you mean it (yeah)

Slow dance, sway, tum ho mere paas (tum ho)

Stay with me tonight, stay with me tonight

Hold me close, saath chal (saath chal), oh-oh

Smile like you mean it, smile like you mean it (uh-huh)

Slow dance, sway, tum ho mere paas (tum ho)

Stay with me tonight, stay with me tonight

Bridge

Ooh, la la, hum dono, humming soft (hmm)

Keh doon main, that I need you, gently, often (often)

Naachesun main, naachesun tu, in slow motion (slow motion)

Mmm, haah, a small orbit of devotion (de-vo-tion)

(da-da-da) say my name (say my name), say it like a vow

(da-da-da) hold my face (hold my face), right here, right now

Chorus

Hold me close, saath chal (saath chal), oh-oh

Smile like you mean it, smile like you mean it (yeah)

Slow dance, sway, tum ho mere paas (tum ho)

Stay with me tonight, stay with me tonight

Hold me close, saath chal (saath chal), oh-oh

Smile like you mean it, smile like you mean it (uh-huh)

Slow dance, sway, tum ho mere paas (tum ho)

Stay with me tonight, stay with me tonight
