Lyrics
Intro: 4 bars, drum groove + funky guitar
Upbeat drum beat with rhythm guitar scratch
Verse 1: Sassy, clear vocals
The DJ's playing songs we know
The lights are moving soft and low
I see the way you look at me
Exactly where I want to be
Pre-Chorus: Building with strings
Don't check your phone, don't look away
We've only got until the day
The rhythm's getting in my head
Let's dance until the night is dead
Chorus: Explosive brass + bass
Baby we're running out of time
(Running out!)
We gotta make this moment shine
(Make it shine!)
Before the morning steals the view
I wanna spend it all with you
Baby we're running out of time!
(Ooh-ooh!)
Post-Chorus: Funky instrumental groove
Slap bass solo + brass hits
Running out of time...
Verse 2: Strict 4-line structure
The taxi's waiting on the street
But I can't leave this funky beat
So spin me round just one more time
Before we cross the finish line
Pre-Chorus: Building with strings
Don't check your phone, don't look away
We've only got until the day
The rhythm's getting in my head
Let's dance until the night is dead
Chorus: Explosive brass + bass
Baby we're running out of time
(Running out!)
We gotta make this moment shine
(Make it shine!)
Before the morning steals the view
I wanna spend it all with you
Baby we're running out of time!
Outro: Fade out with ad-libs
Running out...
(Don't let it end, no!)
Running out of time...
