Closer Than My Breathing

When my heart is racing

When my thoughts run wild

You are in the chaos

Speaking to your child

In the quiet kitchen

In the traffic line

You are here beside me

Closer than my mind

You are closer than my breathing

Nearer than my skin

You surround my every moment

Outside

Deep within

I was lost but you were waiting

Right where I have been

You are closer than my breathing

I can rest in this

When the night feels heavy

When the day feels long

You are still my shelter

You become my song

Every doubt that haunts me

Every hidden ache

Meets a love unshaken

Stronger than the grave

You are closer than my breathing

Nearer than my skin

You surround my every moment

Outside

Deep within

I was lost but you were waiting

Right where I have been

You are closer than my breathing

I can rest in this

You don’t walk away (never)

When I pull away

You just call my name

Till my fear gives way

Every step I take

You are there

You stay

You are there

You stay (you stay)

You are closer than my breathing

Nearer than my skin

You surround my every moment

Outside

Deep within

I was blind but now I’m seeing

You were here

You are here

You are closer than my breathing

I have nothing to fear
