Lyrics

[Verse 1 – Clarissa]
Night slips under my window like a whisper
Moonlight drawing your name on my skin
Every heartbeat writes a softer letter
Telling me this is where I begin

[Pre‑Chorus – Clarissa]
I’m not hiding, I’m unfolding
Every tremble, every glow
In the quiet you are holding
All the parts I never show

[Chorus – Clarissa]
Come closer, close to my skin
I’m falling into you again
Every breath pulls me in
Say my name and I’ll give in
Come closer, close to my skin
Wrap me in the light we’re in
Let the night pull us in
I’m falling, falling in

[Verse 2 – Clarissa]
Fingertips like notes on a piano
Slow and certain, playing me true
Every sigh is a little halo
Spinning silver between us two

[Pre‑Chorus – Clarissa]
I’m not hiding, I’m unfolding
Every tremble, every glow
In the quiet you are holding
All the parts I never show

[Chorus – Clarissa]
Come closer, close to my skin
I’m falling into you again
Every breath pulls me in
Say my name and I’ll give in
Come closer, close to my skin
Wrap me in the light we’re in
Let the night pull us in
I’m falling, falling in

[Bridge – Clarissa]
Trace the edges, slow and steady
Let the room fade out to black
If my heart is open, ready
Promise you’ll give it back

[Breakdown – Clarissa]
Closer, closer
Hear the rush beneath my ribs
Softer, slower
You’re the only one who lives

[Final Chorus – Clarissa]
Come closer, close to my skin
I’m falling into you again
Every breath pulls me in
Say my name and I’ll give in
Come closer, close to my skin
Wrap me in the light we’re in
Let the night pull us in
I’m falling, falling in

[Outro – Clarissa]
Night slips under my window
And I’m home under your hands
