Shadow Dancing at Midnight

Intro

ah-ah, oh-oh (oh)

uh-huh, yeah, hey

(la la) ta-ta-touch, ta-ta-touch

Verse

Streetlamp paints a ribbon down the pavement

Your silhouette slips through the hush

Leather jacket, laugh like low percussion

We move like keys that know the lock

Fingers trace the edges of a midnight promise

Breath hangs soft, a slow, sweet hush (watching)

We don’t ask for daylight, we borrow time

Two quiet rebels turning dusk into a rush

Pre-chorus

Close enough to feel the static on your skin

Close enough to learn the rhythm from within (learn it)

Keep it small — a secret soundtrack that we spin

Hold me steady, don’t let the moment end

Chorus

Shadow dancing at midnight (dance, dance)

Shadow dancing at midnight (dance, dance)

Shadow dancing at midnight, oh-oh

Shadow dancing at midnight, yeah (oh)

Shadow dancing at midnight (come on)

Shadow dancing at midnight (come on)

Shadow dancing at midnight, ah-ah

Shadow dancing at midnight, uh-huh

Verse

Your laugh cracks open the quiet like a vinyl chorus

I follow where your reckless feet will go

Syllables fall into the spaces of our orbit

We speak in sparks, not in what we know

Street smells of rain and late-night coffee

Your hand finds mine like it always could

No promises carved into the wallpaper

Just the sway, the sway, the sway of something good

Pre-chorus

Close enough to learn the map that lives inside your smile

Close enough to stay a little longer, stay a while (stay)

We trade small glories, little truths, and stolen miles

Keep this flame, however brief, however wild

Chorus

Shadow dancing at midnight (dance, dance)

Shadow dancing at midnight (dance, dance)

Shadow dancing at midnight, oh-oh

Shadow dancing at midnight, yeah (oh)

Shadow dancing at midnight (come on)

Shadow dancing at midnight (come on)

Shadow dancing at midnight, ah-ah

Shadow dancing at midnight, uh-huh

Bridge

Spin me slow, let the world forget the hour

Spin me close, till the streetlight turns to flame

If morning pulls us back to separate corners

We’ll keep this motion, keep this name

(keep this name)

Chorus

Shadow dancing at midnight (dance, dance)

Shadow dancing at midnight (dance, dance)

Shadow dancing at midnight, oh-oh

Shadow dancing at midnight, yeah (oh)

Shadow dancing at midnight (come on)

Shadow dancing at midnight (come on)

Shadow dancing at midnight, ah-ah

Shadow dancing at midnight, uh-huh
