Oh don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me I said you're holding back She said shut up and dance with me This woman is my destiny She said oh oh oh Shut up and dance with me We were victims of the night The chemical, physical, kryptonite Helpless to the bass and the fading light Oh we were bound to get together Bound to get together She took my arm I don't know how it happened We took the floor and she said Oh don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me I said you're holding back She said shut up and dance with me This woman is my destiny She said oh oh oh Shut up and dance with me A backless dress and some beat up sneaks My discotheque Juliet teenage dream I felt it in my chest as she looked at me I knew we were bound to be together Bound to be together She took my arm I don't know how it happened We took the floor and she said Oh don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me I said you're holding back She said shut up and dance with me This woman is my destiny She said oh oh oh Shut up and dance with me Oh, c'mon girl Deep in her eyes I think I see the future I realize this is my last chance She took my arm I don't know how it happened We took the floor and she said Oh don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me I said you're holding back She said shut up and dance with me This woman is my destiny She said oh oh oh Shut up and dance Don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me I said you're holding back She said shut up and dance with me This woman is my destiny She said oh oh oh Shut up and dance with me

Shut up and dance Sittin' in the dark, why you're on your own? Drownin' in your thoughts, in the alcohol I could be your light in the afterglow Get that taste out your mouth Take the pain, scream it out Like I love it (like I love it) Lose yourself in the sound Like there's no one around Let it go, let it go, let it go Shut up and dance And move your body Shut up and dance And make your heart beat Shut up and dance Shut up and dance like you're invisible Shut up and dance And move your body Shut up and dance And make your heart beat Shut up and dance Shut up and dance like you're invisible Can you feel the pulse runnin' through your soul? Blinded by the lights and the chemicals I can hold you tight when you lose control (lose control) Get that taste out your mouth Take the pain, scream it out Like I love it (like I love it) Lose yourself in the sound Like there's no one around Let it go, let it go, let it go Shut up and dance And move your body Shut up and dance And make your heart beat Shut up and dance Shut up and dance like you're invisible When you're lost in the dark Find the love in your heart Just dance Just dance When you're lost in the dark Find the love in your heart Just dance Just dance Get that taste out your mouth Take the pain, scream it out Like I love it (like I love it) Lose yourself in the sound Like there's no one around Let it go, let it go, let it go Shut up and dance And move your body Shut up and dance And make your heart beat Shut up and dance Shut up and dance like you're invisible (Shut up and dance) (And move your body) (Shut up and dance) (And make your heart beat) (Shut up and dance) (Shut up and dance like you're invisible)

I drove up to the city at night And found the place where you grew up And then where you stayed And then we walked around And stayed up late Under city lights And I spent the night Next to you in the house where you grew up Next to you I miraculously woke up In your parents' house I lied in bed with you I went out to feel alone there I went back to wipe it clean I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams We went all the way up to the small town where I'm from With foggy air And the wind And the mountain top And we clung to rocks And we looked off You held my hand You almost got to start feeling me I finally felt like I was breathing free And under swaying trees, we fell asleep and had the same dream The stars were bright We dream the same every night On my island home I spent some time with you I went back to feel alone there I went back there by myself And gave up on everything that we'd felt We found a precious place in the sand Right out in the wind And lied under a blanket And heard the furious sound The roar of waves The pounding surf Two bodies on the earth It was intense just getting to be there next to you And you were trying to get me then And I was happy to let you in I went back and wished I hadn't I went back and felt regret I went to the beach and I stared west Every night when the sun went down In the town where we live The empty streets were lit up By reflected light From a distant sun Bouncing off a glowing ball of rock We just lied on the roof and watched The moon The moon The blue light of the moon We didn't talk and silently we both felt powerful Like the moon my chest was full Because we both knew we're just floating in the same space over molten rock And we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft There's nothing left except certain death And that was comforting under the moon I went out last night to forget that I went out and stared it down But the moon just stared back at me And in its light, I saw my two feet on the ground
