Mine to hold

Mine to Hold

by Robert Ramage

Intro

I got lost in a photograph tonight…

One look at you and the whole world faded away.

Some people call it chemistry…

Some people call it desire…

But this?

This feels like destiny leaning in close and whispering my name.

Verse 1

I was staring at your picture in the pale moonlight,

Heart beating faster like a runaway ride,

Those green eyes pulling me out of my head,

Every little thought you left unsaid.

You don’t even know what you do to me,

One smile and I lose gravity,

Like a wildfire dancing through my soul,

Baby, you don’t just touch me — you take control.

Chorus

And when I finally pull you close,

I’m never gonna fake this feeling.

I’ll wrap my arms around your world

Like two broken hearts finally healing.

Not possession, not chains, not pride,

Just a man wanting you by his side.

You’re not mine to own…

You’re mine to hold.

Verse 2

I can hear your voice inside my veins,

Sweet like thunder rolling through the rain,

Every little look, every little tease,

Brings a strong man down to his knees.

And baby, if you want my touch,

You already know I want you just as much,

No games, no masks, no pretending anymore,

Just your high heels crossing my floor.

Chorus

And when I finally pull you close,

I’m never gonna fake this feeling.

I’ll wrap my arms around your world

Like two broken hearts finally healing.

Not possession, not chains, not pride,

Just a man wanting you by his side.

You’re not mine to own…

You’re mine to hold.

Verse 3

I don’t want a ghost behind a screen,

I want your laugh in the spaces between,

Late-night kisses and tangled sheets,

Your heartbeat dancing against me.

I wanna look at you across the room,

Like every bad memory finally moved,

And whisper low against your skin,

“Baby… let the real world begin.”

Bridge

Some people run from love too fast,

Some people never make it last,

But if you’re willing, take my hand,

We’ll build this fire where we stand.

No cages, no fear, no lies untold,

Just two souls burning out of control.

Verse 4

So if I stare too long, forgive the view,

I’m just trying to survive loving you,

Because every picture leaves me wanting more,

Like heaven standing at my door.

And if destiny finally brings you near,

You’ll never doubt how wanted you are here,

I’ll hold you like a dream come true,

And spend forever falling into you.

Final Chorus

When I finally pull you close,

The whole world’s gonna disappear.

No distance left between our hearts,

No doubt, no shadows, no fear.

Not possession, not chains, not pride,

Just your body moving with mine.

You’re not mine to own…

You’re mine forever to hold.

Outro

I got lost in your picture tonight…

But someday, baby…

I’m gonna get lost in your eyes instead.
