Shadows move like water lyrics
Verse
Neon hum on the tile floor
Cold glass in my hand and your shoulder to hold for more
Bass in the chest like a second heart
We dance where the shadows stretch and part
Cab lights moving slow across our skin
Four a.m. and the city's still spinning
Your collarbone in the dim amber glow
Every step takes us further into the flow
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it turning, can you hear it climb?
City waking up with us on its mind
Nobody leaves till sunrise starts to rise
Chorus
Shadows move like water on the city floor
We don't stop till the morning comes knocking some more
Shadows move like water on the city floor
Your hand in mine and we're still asking for more
Verse
Fog off the river, streetlamps turning gold
Every stranger turns into a friend to hold
Log drum shaking low beneath our feet
Nothing left but this one long repeat
Your eyes catch every ember as it falls
We keep on moving till the whole sky turns pale
Bass drum drops like the tide in a room full of sound
Nobody's leaving, nobody's turning down
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it turning, can you hear it climb?
City waking up with us on its mind
Nobody leaves till sunrise starts to rise
Chorus
Shadows move like water on the city floor
We don't stop till the morning comes knocking some more
Shadows move like water on the city floor
Your hand in mine and we're still asking for more
Bridge
No shadows left, just light and us two
Rooftops glowing orange, that's all we knew
City waking up to what we used to call night
And we keep moving till it turns into light
Chorus
Shadows move like water on the city floor
We don't stop till the morning comes knocking some more
Shadows move like water on the city floor
Your hand in mine and we're still asking for more
