Under the Mistletoe

Intro

(oo-ah, ah)

La-la, la-la, la-la (oh-oh)

Humming, humming, we come close (mmm)

Verse

Candles and ribbons, silk on your coat,

A violin sighs in the corner note,

Gloves off, warm breath, step to the floor,

My hand finds yours like never before.

Snow on the windows, laughter like lace,

We trade secret smiles, slow down the pace,

Your jacket smells of cedar and wine,

I tilt my chin, you tilt the world with mine.

Pre-chorus

Spin me softer, hold the night (hold the night),

Feel the chorus build inside (inside),

Every chord, every string, pulls us near (pulls us near),

Close enough to wish without fear.

Chorus

Under the mistletoe, we move in joy, ah (move in joy)

Under the mistletoe, you call me, boy, oh (call me, boy)

Dance me closer, ta-ta-touch my soul, (ta-ta-touch)

Under the mistletoe, we lose control, (lose control)

Under the mistletoe, we move in joy, ah (move in joy)

Under the mistletoe, you call me, boy, oh (call me, boy)

Dance me closer, ta-ta-touch my soul, (ta-ta-touch)

Under the mistletoe, we lose control, (lose control)

Verse

Three-part hum as the bow draws thin,

Your laugh a staccato, a secret violin,

Skirts whirl like ribbons, candles bend,

Whispered rehearsals where two voices blend.

Silver on my lips where your shadow falls,

You press a soft promise against the wall,

The room tilts gently to our private song,

Polyphony of want, sweet and long.

Pre-chorus

Let the violins answer with light (answer with light),

We carve constellations in tonight (in tonight),

Circle closer, step then slide (step then slide),

All the music swells, I’m by your side.

Chorus

Under the mistletoe, we move in joy, ah (move in joy)

Under the mistletoe, you call me, boy, oh (call me, boy)

Dance me closer, ta-ta-touch my soul, (ta-ta-touch)

Under the mistletoe, we lose control, (lose control)

Under the mistletoe, we move in joy, ah (move in joy)

Under the mistletoe, you call me, boy, oh (call me, boy)

Dance me closer, ta-ta-touch my soul, (ta-ta-touch)

Under the mistletoe, we lose control, (lose control)

Bridge

(Oo-oo, oo-oo) we answer in thirds, (we answer)

(Oo-oo, oo-oo) harmony like birds, (like birds)

Close your eyes, the violin says come, (come, come)

We are the music, we are the drum.

(Heh-ya) Spin, lift, whisper, laugh, (whisper, laugh)

(Heh-ya) Two voices drafting half and half, (half and half)

A kiss that keeps time with every bow, (every bow)

Joy in the curve, in the soft hello.

Chorus

Under the mistletoe, we move in joy, ah (move in joy)

Under the mistletoe, you call me, boy, oh (call me, boy)

Dance me closer, ta-ta-touch my soul, (ta-ta-touch)

Under the mistletoe, we lose control, (lose control)

Under the mistletoe, we move in joy, ah (move in joy)

Under the mistletoe, you call me, boy, oh (call me, boy)

Dance me closer, ta-ta-touch my soul, (ta-ta-touch)

Under the mistletoe, we lose control, (lose control)
