The scene is set, we play the parts

Boy meets girl, better shelter our hearts

We trace the steps that a thousand lovers have danced before

Without a sound, we're face to face, and every breath is suspended in space

Every moment we're together just leaves us wanting more



Holding back tonight, afraid of tomorrow

We both know something's got to give

Gotta make it soul to soul, so come a little closer



Chorus:

We're only a heart beat away, from laying it all on the line

We're only a heart beat away, it's just a matter of time

So tell me that you need me, an' I'll come runnin', baby can't you see

We're only a heart beat away



It's in the air, it's in our eyes, burning through every cool disguise

And pretending that we don't care pushes us closer to each other's fire

It's too late to break the spell that encircles us

The chains of destiny are strong, stronger than both of us

Come on, let's surrender



chorus



Been too scared of taking a fall, just a heart beat away from giving our all

It's only love, only love



(Solo)



Holding back tonight, afraid of tomorrow

We both know something's got to give

Gotta make it soul to soul, come on, let's surrender



chorus repeats out
