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 amSomething in your eyes

Took a thousand years to get here

Something in your eyes

Took a thousand years, a thousand yearsHold 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 meIris, IrisOnce 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 againHold 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 meIris, IrisThe 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 thereIris playing on the Strand

She buries the boy beneath the sand

Iris says that I will be the death of her

It was not meIris, Iris

She said free yourself to be yourself

If only you could see yourself

Free yourself to be yourself

If only you could see
