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
