Close to Your Heart Lyrics

Jump off of the edge,
Stop picking apart your head
Let tonight unfold
Break out of the cast
Stop digging up the past
Let tonight unfold

I can see you running out of cares tonight
The weight of the world and the weight of the everything
You have balanced, you are spinning out of time
With the weight of the world and the weight of the everything
You hold close to your heart

So long, break a leg
You never break a sweat
You know, you're so sure
But your head's been down
You've been lost and found
You were born to run, to run alone
So let tonight unfold

So let tonight unfold
Let tonight unfold
Cause you look so alive

Headlights

Born Alone

Carousel

Running Down The Aisle

Under The Stars

Jump off of the edge,
Stop picking apart your head
Let tonight unfold
Break out of the cast
Stop digging up the past
Let tonight unfold

So long, break a leg
You never break a sweat
You know, you're so sure
But your head's been down
You've been lost and found
You were born to run, to run alone
So let tonight unfold

So let tonight unfold
Let tonight unfold
Cause you look so alive

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is another Morning Parade song about fight or flight. A person who feels they are not good enough for other people - even though they might act as if they are - so they flee before they are rejected. They are filled with fraught and anxiety and worthlessness, even though they seem put together. And this person sees this and is telling them to just relax. Stop analyzing everything. Stop being so perfect. Just be calm and everything will be fine. No need to run any longer. No need to carry the weight of the world, the weight of everything.
