Lyrics:
C’mon babe, you can take a break for a minute
It’s a long race but we both know you’re gonna win it
You got your story down, but maybe I can spin it
I know how precious your time is
Listen babe, I’ll drop the needle on the record
Here comes the groove, you’re gonna feel it in a second
Please don’t make me wait, or you’ll start to hear me beggin’
For that motion that I miss
I just wanna dance with you
I wanna interlace my hands with you
I wanna feel the space expand with you
Into a world of just our own
I wanna rock away the fear in you
I wanna whisper something clear and true
I wanna disappear in you
So you’ll never be alone
I swear babe, you’re getting sweeter by the hour
I lean in close, smell your perfume like a flower
Won’t you lift me up, I am fully in your power
That ain’t just some line that I sold you
Everyday, I think to myself I must be dreaming
But there you are, and they say ‘seeing is believing’
Don’t just look at my face, because looks can be deceiving
You’ll know the truth when I hold you
I just wanna dance witchu
I wanna interlace my hands witchu
I wanna feel the space expand witchu
Into a world of just our own
I wanna rock away the fear in you
I wanna whisper something clear and true
I wanna disappear in you
So you’ll never be alone
No you’ll never be alone
