I have 5 minutes and 7 seconds to put my feelings onto paper about this song.

It makes me feel the purple, the warmth
The shimmering walls
As if the walls are what tuck me in at night
A gentle humming to remind me of my first love
Then a tear strokes my cheek
A dancer on a stage with nobody else in the room
Like there’s nobody but me
The snow hitting the window
A gentle pitter-patter
All alone
It feels good, no worry
Like everything's in place
The purple light dims
The shimmering is turning blue
With my eyes with tears in them barely open, I hear them sing
“Closer to you”,
“Closer to you”
I can’t make myself comfortable
Because suddenly everything hurts so good
I realize how good everything is
Even though I am TERRIFIED
Of when that knife will cut through
“Closer to you”
A gentle hum
A hug from the skies
Everything's dim
“Closer to you”
