[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] Strobe lights breaking like a summer storm Room full of people, and I'm still cold Everyone here is holding someone's shadow I know the steps, I just don't want the show So I close my eyes and let the room go grey And every face around me falls away [Pre-Chorus] [Instrumental] I don't need the color, don't need the light 'Cause every time the rhythm drops, you're here tonight And my whole body remembers [Chorus] [Full orchestral tutti] [Brass fanfare, soaring] Now I'm dancing with my eyes closed Turning through a dark that only we know Your hands still warm in the way you held me Let the strings take over, let the world go I don't need to see her when I'm this close Dancing with my eyes closed [Verse 2] [Instrumental] Feet keep moving on a crowded floor But I am somewhere I have been before Her jacket on my shoulders, cold air, her laugh A whole year folded into half a bar [Pre-Chorus] [Instrumental] I don't need the color, don't need the light 'Cause every time the rhythm drops, you're here tonight And my whole body remembers [Chorus] [Instrumental] Now I'm dancing with my eyes closed Turning through a dark that only we know Your hands still warm in the way you held me Let the strings take over, let the world go I don't need to see her when I'm this close Dancing with my eyes closed [Bridge] [Strip to solo cello and low timpani] When the room goes black, she's the one I find The only quiet corner in my mind [Final Chorus] [Instrumental] Now I'm dancing with my eyes closed Turning through a dark that only we know Your hands still warm in the way you held me Let the strings take over, let the world go I don't need to see her when I'm this close Dancing with my eyes closed [Outro] [Instrumental] (Oh-oh-oh)
