(Verse 1) Shadows dancing on a velvet floor We’re tiptoeing around an open door You whispered soft, "I wanna be that girl" And I said, "Baby, let me hold your world" Each minute passing is a rising tide Why are we building up a wall inside? Can’t wait any longer, can't play it cool Spinning through the neon like a cosmic fool (Pre-Chorus) Tippy-toes around these feelings got us nowhere fast Why fight a war that was never meant to last? The battle in ourselves—we can lay it down We already know the truth in this ghost town (Chorus) So if you wanna be her and I wanna be him Let the tide pull us right over the rim! I wanna make a commitment to you To have and to hold the whole night through 'Cause everything with you just feels so right Can't deny the fire burning through the night No matter where it goes, let’s take the dive Without your love, my heart won't stay alive! (Verse 2) Electric pulse beneath the summer heat Every single thing you do turns my world sweet I love who you are in every single way If I didn't have you, I wouldn't last a day I don't need no totems, no lucky charm I’m fully grounded standing in your arms No spinning tops, no tricks to get me through The only anchor that I need is you (Pre-Chorus) Why are we fighting what we already know? It’s time to let the river inside us flow We already know what’s real, what’s right Step into the glow of the midnight light (Chorus) If you wanna be her and I wanna be him Let the tide pull us right over the rim! I wanna make a commitment to you To have and to hold the whole night through 'Cause everything with you just feels so right Can't deny the fire burning through the night No matter where it goes, let’s take the dive Without your love, my heart won't stay alive! (Bridge) (Glass Animals style vocal groove—rhythmic, warm, spacey synth) No totems on the table No illusions in the air We’re finally ready, finally able To breathe the ambient air Cause if we don't try, the heart is sure to die Floating right up in a shimmering sky… (Chorus) If you wanna be her and I wanna be him Let the tide pull us right over the rim! I wanna make a commitment to you To have and to hold the whole night through 'Cause everything with you just feels so right Can't deny the fire burning through the night No matter where it goes, let’s take the dive Without your love, my heart won't stay alive! (Outro) (Empire of the Sun synth crescendo & fading harmonies) You wanna be her, I wanna be him… Let the war end now… To have and to hold… Your love gets me through… Yeah, your love gets me through.
