you dance with me at midnight
after a hundred days of silence
you put your hand on my chest
so i can feel you steal my breath
we feel the songs
we are the show
surrounded by jealous strangers
anyone that sees us knows

  hold me down
this isn’t love we feel again
  hold me down
this isn’t love we are not friends
  hold me down
this wasn’t love i thought you said
  hold me down
  oh won’t you hold me now

you tell me secrets that you thought
only you could keep
and you show me things that
only we could see
you take me lost in your city
where wonder walks your streets
you left me lost in your city
your name still whispered from the trees

 hold me down
this isn’t love we feel again
  hold me down
this isn’t love we are not friends
  hold me down
this wasn’t love i thought you said
  hold me down
  oh won’t you hold me now

it’s been a year apart and now
you think we should meet
we spent a year in other arms
maybe for our own safety
maybe our sanity
but your ghost never left me
because even in that year i knew that we
i knew you thought of me
our songs you’d hear
and they still held our beat
i know you’d smile for me
always and all for me

  hold me down
this time it’s love we feel again
  hold me down
this isn’t love i thought they said
  hold me down
this was always love we both confess
  hold me down
  darling i’ll hold you now
