Keep your step where it was before

Verse 1

Dust on the cement, sweat on your nape

Shadows lean in, finding their shape

One deep shudder in the wooden wall

You do not speak, you answer the call

Bare arms cool as the fan swings round

Two pairs of shoes anchored to the ground

Pre-Chorus

Lean to the left

Let the drum lead

Nothing to ask

Nothing to plead

Chorus

Red light sweeping on the floor

Keep your step where it was before

Heavy bass moving wall to wall

Red light sweeping on the floor

Verse 2

Glass on the table, ring of cold wet

Dark cotton sticking where the heat met

Your shoulder rolling right into mine

No clock turning, no count of time

Sub-bass crawls through the marrow slow

Only the red beam showing where to go

Pre-Chorus

Lean to the left

Let the drum lead

Nothing to ask

Nothing to plead

Chorus

Red light sweeping on the floor

Keep your step where it was before

Heavy bass moving wall to wall

Red light sweeping on the floor

Bridge

The drum drops out, the room stays warm

Breath in the middle of a quiet storm

Fingers pressing light against my wrist

Nothing remains that we could have missed

Chorus

Red light sweeping on the floor

Keep your step where it was before

Heavy bass moving wall to wall

Red light sweeping on the floor
