Losing It to This Beat (Version 2)

Verse

Someone's handing me a red plastic cup

Sweat and cigarette smoke curl up

Every fourth bar the bass drops down low

Floor turns gold like it's asking for show

The guy behind us spins like he owns this place

Girl next to him is laughing at my face

I forget what I was worried about

Bassline swallows every doubt

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now, are you ready to let go

Can we leave the quiet where it's supposed to go?

Chorus

Losing it to this beat, losing it slow

Every hand on my shoulder says nobody goes alone

Losing it to this beat, losing it slow

Feet don't ask why when they know

Losing it to this beat, losing it slow

Bodies sway like we already know

We were built for this, the dark and the sound

Losing it to this beat and turning round

Verse 2

Stranger's offering his jacket by the door

Someone spills a drink but nobody swears no more

Floor's still shaking when the lights come back up

Nobody checks their phone or looks around upset

The lead singer yells something I don't understand

Crown of my head finds the strobe light hand

Every step forward feels like permission to be here

Nobody asks me if it's safe or clear

Pre-Chorus

So tell me now, are you ready to let go

Can we leave the quiet where it's supposed to go?

Chorus

Losing it to this beat, losing it slow

Every hand on my shoulder says nobody goes alone

Losing it to this beat, losing it slow

Feet don't ask why when they know

Losing it to this beat, losing it slow

Bodies sway like we already know

We were built for this, the dark and the sound

Losing it to this beat and turning round

Bridge

What was I scared of anyway?

Was it the falling or staying put in place?

Tonight says fall, tonight's got the space

No regret when the lights come back up, no trace

Chorus

Losing it to this beat, losing it slow

Every hand on my shoulder says nobody goes alone

Losing it to this beat, losing it slow

Feet don't ask why when they know

Losing it to this beat, losing it slow

Bodies sway like we already know

We were built for this, the dark and the sound

Losing it to this beat and turning round
