Hands Up in the Dark (Version 2) lyrics
Verse
Sweat on skin in the smoke and steel
Your eyes catch mine where shadows deal
Bare feet moving to the drum's low hum
We find our rhythm before the sun is gone
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it climbing up your spine?
Hands up high, let the pulse align
Chorus
Hands up in the dark
Where the drums never stop or start
Hands up in the dark
Moving till the lights come on
Verse
Your hand finds mine among the heat and smoke
We're not alone where the bassline speaks its own voice
Sweat dripping off the arms that we don't share
Same four counts moving everywhere
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it climbing up your spine?
Hands up high, let the pulse align
Chorus
Hands up in the dark
Where the drums never stop or start
Hands up in the dark
Moving till the lights come on
Bridge
No need for light where we already know
Just hands and heat and the drum's slow glow
Lost in the rhythm that only we can see
This is the place where we were always meant to be
Chorus
Hands up in the dark
Where the drums never stop or start
Hands up in the dark
Moving till the lights come on
