Hollowed Out (version 2)

Verse

Your hand on the small of my back, I feel it slide

Your voice cuts through all this noise like a current inside

We're two hundred strangers but you know exactly where I live

The strobe flickers red then gold and I see your face

I let go of what was left and I'm moving in your pace

You don't need to say a word, I read it off your eyes

Every line we cross turns the whole room into surprise

Pre-Chorus

So let's just lose this skin for one more night

Leave the maps behind us where the stars won't light

Chorus

Hollowed out, hollowed down to bone

You're pulling me through like I'm the only one home

The bassline hums low in my chest

Your touch ignites something I've never possessed

Hollowed out, we start over here

In this room of a hundred thousand people and no fear

Verse

Sweat on your collarbone when we stop to breathe

I catch you off guard but somehow that's all the reason I need

The smoke from the bar curls up in gold rings

You keep my hands right where yours already belongs

Your eyes go dark at a certain pitch and I swear it's true

In every crowd I've ever walked through, this is the first time I feel like someone's waiting for me too

Pre-Chorus

So let's just lose this skin for one more night

Leave the maps behind us where the stars won't light

Chorus

Hollowed out, hollowed down to bone

You're pulling me through like I'm the only one home

The bassline hums low in my chest

Your touch ignites something I've never possessed

Hollowed out, we start over here

In this room of a hundred thousand people and no fear

Bridge

No names, no faces, just heat and sound

Just your palm against mine where the speakers come around

Maybe I lost myself so long ago

But you're turning me into something that doesn't go back home

Chorus

Hollowed out, hollowed down to bone

You're pulling me through like I'm the only one home

The bassline hums low in my chest

Your touch ignites something I've never possessed

Hollowed out, we start over here

In this room of a hundred thousand people and no fear
