Thank you so much for listening! My name is Ashley Nicole Greene – I am a 23 year old independent singer, songwriter, vocal-arranger, recording engineer, and student! This is a song from my brand new EP entitled “What Lovers Do,” that I released on April 19th, 2024. This song was fully written, mixed, and mastered by me. I used splice loops to create the foundation of the song, and then composed the violin parts for another instrumentalist. This song illustrates an intimate, haunting, and deep desire for closeness with your person. It represents the heart of the EP - Vulnerability, transparency, and longing for deep love. Although it is in the genre of R&B/Soul, it has many cinematic and orchestral elements to it (Which I love to add to songs). Each song purchase gives you access to my Patreon, where I share unreleased music both for fun and for your feedback! It also gives you access to pitch a song concept or lyrics to me – If I choose your concept or lyrics and release the song, you will get 10% of the publishing and royalties! (I will walk you through how to register with a Performing Rights Organization, so you will then become a published songwriter after the release!). LYRICS (Written by Ashley Nicole Greene) Verse Skin to skin, I wanna breathe you in Where does my love begin Where does your body end We could never, ever just be friends Take me to the edge to the ends of the earth with you Deep inside you, somewhere I know There's a place that, I call home You’ve seen a side, that, no one knows So baby please just, don’t let go, no Chorus Close ain’t close enough (Ooh) Wanna be in your heart Swimming inside your love (Uhh) I wanna get lost Take me to heaven, no matter the cost Verse Look at what we created, memories immortalized no erasing And I thought I was jaded, but I need you here now baby What if we took a chance like that Falling in deep and we don't look back Tell me you need it, tell me you see it Give me something to believe in Oh I need you to Love me like I thought you would babe You got to, need me that way, you should You can’t hesitate, don’t let me get away do you know what you’re missing Look me in the face and tell me it’s okay Can we get it right, just need you to hold me Chorus Close ain’t close enough (Ooh) Wanna be in your heart Swimming inside your love (Uhh) I wanna get lost Take me to heaven, no matter the cost Bridge This is just what lovers do I’ll give myself to you Don’t know where we’re going but One thing I know is true I’m too good, I’m too good, I know you know that I’m too good (I’m too good) To be waiting here, to be feeling lonely I’m too good, I’m too good, I’m too good To be holding on and breaking down slowly Outro Ooh, ah
