The world fades out

Flickering candle, silver on the glass

Trying to make this perfect moment last

My heart was playing rhythms way too fast for me to hide

A nervous conversation, the battle felt inside

But then you looked right at me, and you didn't look away

And all my racing thoughts suddenly had nothing left to say.

And slowly, surely, the world fades out

The noise is gone, and I have no doubt

That all that really matters is the space between us two

And the only thing I hear is the sound of me and you.

I'm hearing your real laughter for the very first time

Not competing with the coffee grinder's hum and chime

And you're telling me a story 'bout the town where you grew up

And I'm forgetting all the reasons my old fortress was put up.

Every wall is coming down, I didn't even see it move

Just sinking in the safety of this quiet little groove.

And slowly, surely, the world fades out

The noise is gone, and I have no doubt

That all that really matters is the space between us two

And the only thing I hear is the sound of me and you.

This isn't just a dinner, this isn't just one night

This is the turning of a page under the candlelight

And I'm scared 'cause it feels different, but I'm not scared of you

It's the start of something honest, something brave and new.

And slowly, surely, the world fades out

The noise is gone, and I have no doubt

That all that really matters is the space between us two

And the only thing I hear is the sound of me and you.

And slowly, surely, the world fades out

The noise is gone, and I have no doubt

That all that really matters is the space between us two

And the only thing I hear is the sound of me and you.

The world fades out...

(Fading out now...)

Just me and you...

(Only me and you...)

The world fades out...
