Hold Your Chest to Me (version 2)

Verse

I see the way you hold your chest to me

Shoulders like a tree trunk in a stormy sea

The crowd around us sway but you don't lean

Your feet stay rooted where your heartbeat is keen

We move as one when the horns hit right

Spine against spine, no room for fight

A small band playing loud on a corner stage

But with you here my body's turned to a steady gauge

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what you feel deep down inside

Is this more than rhythm and the sun's high ride?

Am I the only one who hears this drum call

Is it us that makes the music stand tall

Chorus

Hold your chest to me, hold your chest to me

Every note in the air is all we need

No need for words when our bodies talk the same

We'll dance till the night turns into flame

Hold your chest to me, don't let go, don't let go

I'm chasing every second that we call home

This four-count beat could be a thousand more

But you're the only one I want on this floor

Verse

Bottles and cans like stars in a streetlight glow

Strangers passing hands to move as they know

Your ankle brushes mine and it's like fire start

Every step we take, we never part

The bandleader blows that horn loud and long

But your breath on my neck keeps the rhythm strong

A thousand shadows sway but you're the one I see

In every jump-up and in every plea for me

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what you feel deep down inside

Is this more than rhythm and the sun's high ride?

Am I the only one who hears this drum call

Is it us that makes the music stand tall

Chorus

Hold your chest to me, hold your chest to me

Every note in the air is all we need

No need for words when our bodies talk the same

We'll dance till the night turns into flame

Hold your chest to me, don't let go, don't let go

I'm chasing every second that we call home

This four-count beat could be a thousand more

But you're the only one I want on this floor

Bridge

No name in the crowd, no face to tell who's behind it all

Just your chest against mine and the drum's steady fall

The city around us fades out of sight

All that left is the way we sway through the night

Chorus

Hold your chest to me, hold your chest to me

Every note in the air is all we need

No need for words when our bodies talk the same

We'll dance till the night turns into flame

Hold your chest to me, don't let go, don't let go

I'm chasing every second that we call home

This four-count beat could be a thousand more

But you're the only one I want on this floor

Outro

Hold your chest to me

I'll be right here with you
