Dancing Without You 2 (version 2)

Verse

Sweat on the collarbone of a stranger I don't know

Cigarette smoke curls under the strobe light low

Fingers brush against mine, then pull away

Bass keeps moving while we just stay

Your eyes catch mine across a crowd of faces

Stranger's smile that turns into something more

Bottle clinks against the ice, then spills on me

Sweat trickles down your neck where it landed clean

Neon glow slices through and cuts my line

I grab your wrist and pull you back in

Chorus

Dancing without you, losing myself

Strangers' hands on strangers' skin like they knew us well

Bass goes heavy low and I lose control

Dancing without you, I let it go

Spinning round the light while your eyes stay still

Fingers close where the collarbone broke apart

Sweat running hot in a rhythm all our own

Dancing without you, turning into the sound

No one looking for a name or a face

Just two hands moving under the strobe's white space

Verse

Shadows stretch across the concrete floor

Bottle cap lands flat where your feet were before

Cigarette smoke curls and curls and curls around

Somebody laughing in the crowd that's not us now

Your hand keeps holding mine like it has a choice

Sweat running slow down the curve of your neck

Fingers brush against fingers, then move apart

Bassline heavy low where my heart will start

Stranger's palm finds mine like we agreed on this

Chorus

Dancing without you, losing myself

Strangers' hands on strangers' skin like they knew us well

Bass goes heavy low and I lose control

Dancing without you, I let it go

Spinning round the light while your eyes stay still

Fingers close where the collarbone broke apart

Sweat running hot in a rhythm all our own

Dancing without you, turning into the sound

No one looking for a name or a face

Just two hands moving under the strobe's white space

Bridge

Do we need names to move like this

Can we find it on our own skin and breath

Does the light know what we want to say

Let go of names, let the beat turn us free

Fingers slide through the sweat between our palms

Bass goes deep into the floor where my feet are gone

Chorus

Dancing without you, losing myself

Strangers' hands on strangers' skin like they knew us well

Bass goes heavy low and I lose control

Dancing without you, I let it go

Spinning round the light while your eyes stay still

Fingers close where the collarbone broke apart

Sweat running hot in a rhythm all our own

Dancing without you, turning into the sound

No one looking for a name or a face

Just two hands moving under the strobe's white space

Outro

Hands let go, your eyes lock mine

Light cuts out and we don't find the floor
