Cloudy Days, Close Eyes

[Verse 1]
You draw me closer
But I’m just in the way
He used to be sunshine
Now it’s cloudy days
I used to run your way
Now I run away
I’m tracing every promise
That we couldn’t say
[Chorus]
Draw me closer
I’m fighting to stay
Help me help us
I’m losing my faith
You were my warm sky
Now it’s all gray
Draw me closer
Before I fade
Before I break
[Verse 2]
I talk in circles
You hear what you fear
You reach for my shoulder
I disappear
I’m scared of the endings
I’ve seen before
But I still keep a spare key
By your door (oh)
[Chorus]
Draw me closer
I’m fighting to stay
Help me help us
I’m losing my faith
You were my warm sky
Now it’s all gray
Draw me closer
Before I fade
Before I break
[Bridge]
If I let go of the past
Could you meet me halfway
If I open up the scars
Would you stay
Would you stay (hey)
Say you choose me
Over your pride
Say you’ll hold on
When I want to hide
[Chorus]
Draw me closer
I’m fighting to stay
Help me help us
Teach my heart it’s safe
You were my warm sky
Under this rain
Draw me closer
Through cloudy days
Help me stay
Help us stay

Moody alt-pop ballad over warm pads and distant kick; intimate female vocals right up on the mic, soft piano arpeggios in the verses. Chorus swells with airy harmonies, sub bass, and a pulsing synth bed. Bridge strips back to almost a cappella, then final chorus blooms with layered ad-libs and a lifted top line.
