  • I knew who you were, it was perfectly obvious
    I was uncomfortable playing it cool
    But I feel like I have always known you
    I kept you close and I thought you would question it
    Young in the night, when we stare like the rest of them
    God forbid, oh my God

    I would hold you close
    'Cause it is a lonely world
    But would you want me to?
    'Cause it is a lonely world

    Well, I put off 'cause I'm painfully diffident
    I played it out in my head from afar
    But then trust me to go miss my moment
    You disappeared to my dissatisfaction
    Oh, what could have been with a little more time? Oh
    Woe is me, oh my God

    I would hold you close
    'Cause it is a lonely world
    But would you want me to?
    'Cause it is a lonely world
    Yeah, I would hold you close
    'Cause it is a lonely world
    If I was confident
    'Cause it is a lonely world

    Yeah, I would hold you close
    'Cause it is a lonely world
    But would you want me to?
    'Cause it is a lonely world
    Yeah, I would hold you close
    'Cause it is a lonely world
    If I was confident
    'Cause it is a lonely world Writer/s: Arni Hjorvar Arnason, Freddie Clayton Cowan, Justin James Hayward-Young, Peter Gareth Christopher Robertson
