Ed Sheeran​ - I Want To Be Near You (Lyrics) - Perfect for weddings 💍, anniversaries ❤️

The coffee cup is cool against my hand. The city wakes a hundred miles away. I try to focus, try to understand. Why every thought of you won't fade today. There's nothing I can touch or reach or hold. Just pictures I keep scrolling, worn and old. I want to be near you in the simplest quiet way. To hear the way your breathing settles in at close of day. No grand pronouncements, no demanding sound. Just standing next to where your safe world can be found. I want to be near you, just enough to feel the light. And chase the lonely shadows out of my long dark night. I think about the way you laugh sometimes. A sudden bright surprise that catches air. It echoes over streets in silent chime. A melody that no one else can share. And when I watch you from across the room. I feel the distance settling into gloom. I want to be near you in the simplest quiet way. To hear the way your breathing settles in at close of day. No grand pronouncements, no demanding sound. Just standing next to where your safe world can be found. I want to be near you, just enough to feel the light. And chase the lonely shadows out of my long dark night. It isn't wanting all of you, not yet. Just pieces of the comfort you provide. A silent gentle peace I can't forget. The only place I feel I want to hide. Just to be anchored where the silence speaks. The quiet promise that my spirit seeks. I want to be near you in the simplest quiet way. To hear the way your breathing settles in at close of day. No grand pronouncements, no demanding sound. Just standing next to where your safe world can be found. I want to be near you, just enough to feel the light. And chase the lonely shadows out of my long dark night. I just want to be near you. Near you.
