Lyrics and Music by Christina Perri and David Hodges

Heart beats fast,
Colours and promises,
How to be brave;
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away, somehow…

   One step closer.

Chorus:
     I have died every day waiting for you.
     Darling, don’t be afraid -
     I have loved you
     For a thousand years,
     And I’ll love you for a thousand more.

Time stands still,
Beauty in all she is.
I will be brave -
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me.
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this…
          
   One step closer.

Chorus:
     I have died every day waiting for you.
     Darling, don’t be afraid -
     I have loved you
     For a thousand years,
     I’ll love you for a thousand more.

     And all along I believed I would find you.
     Time has brought your heart to me,
     I have loved you
     For a thousand years,
     I’ll love you for a thousand more. 

   One step closer,
   One step closer.

Chorus:
     I have died every day waiting for you.
     Darling, don’t be afraid -
     I have loved you
     For a thousand years,
     I’ll love you for a thousand more.

     And all along I believed I would find you.
     Time has brought your heart to me,
     I have loved you
     For a thousand years,
     I’ll love you for a thousand more.
