lyrics

I could find you in a crowd
I could meet you on the stairs
Turn the radio up loud
And pretend we're never here
I had set you in my sights
Months before you knew
I could meet you on the stairs
But the rest is up to you

You can tell me that it's right
From our corner of the room
How the music and the nights we share
Only help our bodies move in tune
You can join me in the light
Show them what we do
I could never move a crowd
Like the way I did with you

Comes a time you can't explain
Far too much to change to leave your world
If we never tried again
Even then I'm more or less your girl

So leave with me tonight
Show me what you do
I could never move a crowd
Like the way I move with you

In the morning comes the crash
And inevitable rain
Was the quiet and the calm we lack
Worth the passion and the pain?
So stay with me tonight
All the things we do
I could never more a crowd
Like the way I move with you

I could never move a crowd
Like the way I did with you
