Hold Me Tight
Description
A sleepless honeymoon night in Battambang. My chest races, my mind won’t slow — and my wife pulls closer. No speeches. Just her hand, her breath, and “hold me tight.”
L'Histoire
This song came from a restless night during our honeymoon in Battambang. The room was quiet, but my thoughts kept running. My wife didn’t ask questions or try to fix anything — she just took my hand and breathed with me until I calmed down. That’s what “Hold Me Tight” is: love in its simplest form — presence, closeness, and “be my light tonight.” Blending English and Khmer, like a private promise between us.
Paroles
Quiet room The city low I try to sleep but my mind won’t slow I stare at walls I count the hours Thoughts get heavy like winter showers You roll closer You touch my hand Like you already understand No big words No “tell me why” Just your warmth and I’m alright
សម្លាញ់អើយ… កុំទុកបងនៅឯកា I drop my pride I tell the truth
I drop my pride I tell the truth I need you close I need you too No fixing me Just stay in sight Just stay with me through the night
Hold me tight when the beat gets loud Hold me tight when I lose the ground
Through the night Keep me in your sight Don’t let go Just hold me tight Be my light Be my light tonight Close to you Everything feels right Hold me tight Hold me tight
Hold me tight Hold me tight
សុំឲ្យពន្លឺអូននៅក្បែរបង Hold me tight… tonight Be my light… tonight
I feel my chest It starts to race You pull me in Slow down my pace You breathe with me One… two… three… And suddenly I can breathe
My head gets quiet Not all at once But enough to feel your love If I fall back into the noise Just stay with me Be my voice
អូនសម្លាញ់ បងនឹងនៅក្បែរអូន… ហើយអូនក៏នៅក្បែរបង I used to hide what hurts inside But you don’t run You don’t step aside So if I shake Don’t let me go Just hold me close Nice and slow
No perfect words No perfect plan Just you and me That’s how I stand
In the dark You’re still right here In your arms My fear gets clear If I’m lost Don’t pull away Stay the light that makes me stay
One small touch And I’m okay Hold me tight Don’t fade away
បងស្រឡាញ់អូន Hold me tight
បងស្រឡាញ់អូន Hold me tight
Hold me tight When the beat gets loud Hold me tight When I lose the ground
Through the night Keep me in your sight Don’t let go Just hold me tight Be my light Be my light tonight Close to you Everything feels right
Hold me tight Hold me tight Hold me tight Hold me tight
