Lyrics
Intro
Two hearts
Same story
Different stars
Night heat rising (hey!)
Windows open, city humming
Bare feet on tile
You say, “Put something with a rhythm on”
Verse 1
Clouds hanging low
Coffee in my shaking hands
Crosswalk blinking red
You laugh, say, "We should just dance"
Hip to hip
Shadows on the kitchen wall
Spin and dip
Like this room’s a carnival
Chorus
We found love on a rainy day
Headlights streaking, colors running down the glass
You pulled me close, the world felt far away
Slow-motion in a moment made to last
We found love on a rainy day
Storm above but you were shining through the gray
Every drop that hit the ground would say
We found love on a rainy day
We’re dancing all night long
Candles low, the world is gone
Hands on my waist, we’re humming our song
Left, right, right, left, so strong
We’re dancing all night long
Losing track of every wrong
Laugh in the dark till the light comes on
We’re dancing, we’re dancing all night long
Verse 2
Bus stop, late train
Your jacket on my shoulders, warm
Mismatched headphones
Sharing tiny songs against the storm
Loose hair, wild smile
Ice melting in your glass
You say, “Stay awhile”
Like I’d ever let this feeling pass
Chorus
We found love on a rainy day
Headlights streaking, colors running down the glass
You pulled me close, the world felt far away
Slow-motion in a moment made to last
We found love on a rainy day
Storm above but you were shining through the gray
Every drop that hit the ground would say
We found love on a rainy day
We’re dancing all night long
Candles low, the world is gone
Hands on my waist, we’re humming our song
Left, right, right, left, so strong
We’re dancing all night long
Losing track of every wrong
Laugh in the dark till the light comes on
We’re dancing, we’re dancing all night long
Bridge
Late call, you’re shaking
Say you’re stranded in your head
Whole sky is aching
Moonlight sitting on your bed
I’ll be the coat on your chair
The note on your fridge
I’ll be the breath in your prayer
The hand at the bridge
I’m always there for you
In the quiet, in the blue
When the hallway feels too long
I’ll be humming you a tune
I’m always there for you
Every hurt you’re walking through
Lay your heavy on my heart
I’ll be here till it beats for two
Chorus
We found love on a rainy day
Headlights streaking, colors running down the glass
You pulled me close, the world felt far away
Slow-motion in a moment made to last
We found love on a rainy day
Storm above but you were shining through the gray
Every drop that hit the ground would say
We found love on a rainy day
We’re dancing all night long
Candles low, the world is gone
Hands on my waist, we’re humming our song
Left, right, right, left, so strong
We’re dancing all night long
Losing track of every wrong
Laugh in the dark till the light comes on
We’re dancing, we’re dancing all night long
Outro
You say, “I feel foolish”
I say, “You feel like the truth”
Every scar, every sorrow
Looks like art when it’s you
