Song Lyrics

The scene is set, we play the parts
Boy meets girl, better shelter our hearts
We trace the steps that a thousand lovers have danced before
Without a sound, we're face to face, and every breath is suspended in space
Every moment we're together just leaves us wanting more
Holding back tonight, afraid of tomorrow
We both know something's got to give
Gotta make it soul to soul, so come a little closer
Chorus:
We're only a heart beat away, from laying it all on the line
We're only a heart beat away, it's just a matter of time
So tell me that you need me, an' I'll come runnin', baby can't you see
We're only a heart beat away
It's in the air, it's in our eyes, burning through every cool disguise
And pretending that we don't care pushes us closer to each other's fire
It's too late to break the spell that encircles us
The chains of destiny are strong, stronger than both of us
Come on, let's surrender
chorus
Been too scared of taking a fall, just a heart beat away from giving our all
It's only love, only love
(Solo)
Holding back tonight, afraid of tomorrow
We both know something's got to give
Gotta make it soul to soul, come on, let's surrender
chorus repeats ou
