Where It All Began
I remember how the room turned gold before I ever knew your name
Music hanging low above the night and nothing felt the same
One slow glance across the candlelight, one half smile in the blue
And the whole world shifted quietly before I got to you
I remember how the bass kept rolling like it knew what time would do
Every line inside the darkness leaning slowly into you
I had crossed a hundred crowded nights never finding where to stay
Then the rhythm found a different heart and everything changed that day
One look, one sign, one spark, right on time
That was where it all began, where it all began
And the heat, and the light, and the sound, where it all began
When the room and the rhythm came around
One step, one turn, one fire, still burning, and I can hear it now
That was where it all began, began, began, began, began
Something in the air kept rising, something in the night said stay
I did not know a heart could open in such a quiet way
We were standing in the moving light like the answer in the room
And the moment found us breathing under one electric moon
Strings were lifting under midnight, flute was floating through the air
Every beat pulled closer to you like the night knew we were there
I did not know a glance could linger, I did not know a look could stay
The first time love moved through the music it carried us away
One touch, one flame, one night, no same
That was where it all began, where it all began
And the heat, and the light, and the sound, where it all began
When the room and the rhythm came around
One step, one turn, one fire, still burning, and I can hear it now
Where it all began, began, began, began
Maybe love begins in pieces, maybe truth begins in sound
Maybe all the roads that find us start before they turn around
If the night had not been glowing, if the rhythm was not there
We might never have found the moment waiting in the air
Where it all began, in the heat, in the light, in the sound
Where it all began, when the room and the rhythm came around
One step, one turn, one fire, still burning, and I can hear it now
Where it all began, began, began, began, began
Where it all began, began, began, began
Where it all began
Where it all began
Life Keeps Turning
I was young with my jacket over
Running hard with a head full of light
Thought forever would wait in the doorway
Thought every wrong would still turn right
Every city looked like a promise
Every face was a passing flame
Now I know how the years move through you
And they never ask you for your name
You blink and summer slips away
You turn and find a better day
A hand lets go, a hand holds through
And life keeps turning us into the true
Life keeps turning round and round
Through the lost and found
Hearts keep breaking, love breaks through
And the years keep making something new
Keeps on turning
Keeps on turning
Life keeps turning us into the true
I have danced through rooms of glitter
I have smiled through hidden tears
Held my breath through changing weather
Wore my courage through the years
Some nights gave me only silence
Some gave more than I could name
Still the soul comes back in color
When you stop resisting change
You lose a day, you find your grace
You see forever in a face
The world can shake, the heart stays true
And life keeps turning us into something new
Round and round
Through the lost and found
Hearts keep breaking, love breaks through
And the years keep making something new
Keeps on turning
Keeps on turning
Keeps on turning
Life keeps turning us into the true
I have seen the fast grow fragile
I have seen the strong and kind
I have watched a closed heart open
I have watched love change its mind
Every ending leaves a little doorway
Every road can lead you through
And life keeps walking on beside us
Turning old to something new
Life keeps turning round and round
Through the lost and found
Hearts keep breaking, love breaks through
And the years keep making something new
Keeps on turning
Keeps on turning
Life keeps turning us into the true
Life keeps turning us into the true
Take the Night in Full
There was a time I kept on waiting for the perfect door to swing
Thought tomorrow would be kinder, thought the stars would choose the thing
Now I know the clock moves faster than the plans we leave undone
So I want the glass half lifted and a little more of the sun
We lose a chance, we catch a spark, we miss the dawn
We find the dark, and maybe that is where it starts
Take the night in full, do not let it fade
Hold the fire while it is bright, hold the promise that it made
Take the night in full, take the day one more time
Life moves fast but love moves deep, when the heart stays in the right
Hold on, hold on
I have won my best intentions
Like a cold and wind and rain
I have let a hundred moments slip like music from a train
Now I lean into the living, now I answer when it calls
There is no grace in always waiting, there is grace in feeling all
We lose a fear, we find a door, we want a little, then want some more
And maybe that is what we are for
Take the night in full, do not let it fade
Hold the fire while it is bright, hold the promise that it made
Take the night in full, take the day one more time
Life moves fast but love moves deep, when the heart stays in the right
Hold on
Hold on
Maybe we are here for seconds, not to count but to become
Maybe all this passing beauty is the place we learn from
Every room, every road, every late light, every hand we held in view
Nothing stays, but while it is with us, let it change us through and through
Take the night in full, do not let it fade
Hold the fire while it is bright, hold the promise that it made
Take the night in full, take the day one more time
Life moves fast but love moves deep, when the heart stays in the right
Hold on
Hold on
Take the night in full
Take the night in full
Take the day one more time
Life moves fast but love moves deep, when the heart stays in the right
Hold on
Hold on
Take the night in full, take the day one more time
Life moves fast but love moves deep, when the heart stays in the right
Hold on
Hey
Take the night in full
Too Quick to Hold
Everything is moving faster Morning, midnight, the city lights
I was just inside the sunlight Now I am halfway through the night
People laughing, doors are opening Phones are glowing, taxis slide
And I swear the best of living Always passes at high tide
I want a little more time, a little more air A little more room, to feel it there
Before it disappears
Too quick to hold, too bright to hide We are right here in the middle of the ride
Too quick to hold, too good to miss So hold me in the heat of this
Hold on, hold on It is happening too quick to hold
Every place becomes a moment Every moment leaves a mark
One more drink and one more story One more flame inside the dark
I do not want the perfect answer I do not want the night control
I just want to stay awake now While the air is turning gold
One more look, one more turn One more thing we never learned
Till it is gone too soon
Too quick to hold, too bright to hide We are right here in the middle of the ride
Too quick to hold, too good to miss So hold me in the heat of this
Hold on, hold on It is happening too quick to hold
Maybe all we get is motion Maybe that is why it shines
Maybe every fleeting second Is the reason that it matters
If it comes and if it goes Let it find us open wide
Let it hit us while it is living Right here in the ride
Too quick to hold, too bright to hide We are right here in the middle of the ride
Too quick to hold, too good to miss So hold me in the heat of this
Hold on, hold on It is happening too quick to hold
Too quick to hold
Right Now Is the Time
Ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I kept saying maybe later
Maybe when the world stood still
Maybe when the fear got smaller
Maybe when I had the will
Now I hear the whole room breathing
Now I feel the floorboards move
And there is something in the moment
Saying this is what to choose
Not tomorrow, not someday
Not when all the doubts give way
Right now is the time
Right now is the time, ooh
Do not let it pass
Take the light before it breaks
Take the future from the glass
Right now is the time, lean into the flame
If we only get this one bright turn
Let us live it all the same
Right now, ooh
Right now, right now
Every road is full of maybe
Every heart is full of wait
But the night does not stay open
And the stars do not negotiate
So I want the land still rising
Want the hand still in my hand
Want the sound of love and movement
Before it slips into the past
This hour, this spark, this breath, this dark
Right now is where we are
Right now is the time, do not let it pass
Do not let it pass, take the light before it breaks
Take the future, take the future from the glass
Right now is the time, lean into the flame
If we only get this one bright turn
Let us live it all the same
Right now, right now, right now
Maybe nothing ever waits for us
Maybe that is why we run
Maybe all the beauty in it lives inside what is not done
So take the room, the road, the rhythm, ah, ah
Take the kiss, the light, the sound
If forever never tells us clearly
Right now is enough for now
Right now is the time, do not let it pass, do not let it pass
Take the light before it breaks, take the future from the glass
Right now is the time, lean into the flame
If we only get this one bright turn
Let us live it all the same
Right now, right now, right now, right now is the time
Right now is the time
Before the Night Runs Out
The room is already breathing
And the lights are turning gold
Every minute wants a story
Every silence wants to fold
I can feel the whole night rising
Like a spark under my skin
So do not stand there hesitating
This is where we step right in
One more second, one more chance
One more look, one more dance
Before the night runs out
Before the night runs out
Stay here in the fire
Do not let the feeling fade
Do not let the room get tired
Before the night runs out
Stay with me right now
If the world keeps spinning fast
Let us be the part that lasts
Right now, right now
I have watched too many moments
Slip away before they land
So tonight I am not leaving
With my heart still in my hand
You are standing in the music
Like the answer and the risk
And I know the best things happen
In a night that feels like this
One more spark, one more turn
One more thing
We never learn
Till the night runs out
Before the night runs out
Stay here in the fire
Do not let the feeling fade
Do not let the room get tired
Before the night runs out
Stay with me right now
If the world keeps spinning fast
Let us be the part that lasts
Right now, right now
Right now, right now
Maybe all we get is this one blade
Maybe all we need is one true move
If the dark is closing in around us
Let it find us with something to prove
Let it find us still alive inside it
Let it find us wanting more
Let it find us in the middle
The thing we came here for
Before the night runs out
Stay here in the fire
Stay here in the fire
Do not let the feeling fade
Do not let the room get tired
Before the night runs out
Stay with me right now
If the world keeps spinning fast
Let us be the part that lasts
Right now, right now
Before the night runs out
Before the night runs out
Before the night runs out
Light Up the Night
The room is hot and breathing slowly
Gold light falling on the glass
Someone laughs and someone turns
And the whole night starts to pass
I did not come to stand here thinking
I came to feel the whole thing move
And the bass says keep on going
Till the floor gives up its cool
One more spark, one more flame
One more night and no more name
One more turn, one more sign
Everything is right on time
Light up the night
Let it open wide
Hold me in the rhythm
Hold me in the fire
Tonight
Light up the night
Do not let it slow
If the heart is made for living let the whole room know
Light it up
Light it up
Blue above the city shimmer
Healed in shadows, skin and heat
Every second tastes electric
Every step lands on the beat
I have waited long enough now
I have learned enough control
Tonight I do not want perfection
I just want the living whole
One more breath, one more kiss
One more dangerous kind of bliss
One more chance, one more spark
Before the morning finds the dark
Light up the night (hi!)
Let it open wide
Hold me in the rhythm
Hold me in the fire
Tonight
Light up the night
Do not let it slow
If the heart is made for living let the whole room know
Light it up
Light it up
Maybe all we get is motion
Maybe that is why it shines
Maybe every passing second
Is the one we make divine
So let the night come closer
Let the rhythm take control
If I came here to feel alive then let it hit me whole
Light up the night (hey!)
Let it open wide
Hold me in the rhythm
Hold me in the fire
Tonight
Light up the night
Do not let it slow
If the heart is made for living let the whole room know
Light it up
Light it up
Light it up
Party Till the Lights Go Blue
I walked in with the night half open, black shoes shining in the low blue light
One cold glass and one slow heartbeat, and the room said stay a while tonight
I've had enough of almost living, enough of thinking, not enough of heat
So if the groove is keeping pressure, I am not leaving my seat, my seat
One more round, one more flame, one more shot at feeling change, one more move, one more sign
Everything is right on time, on time
Party till the lights go blue, till the dark turns bright on you, till the bass runs through the floor, and you still want more
Party till the lights go blue, till the night comes fully true
If the heart is here to move, let it break right through all night, all night, all night
Smoke and color through the room light, cut a silver edge across the air
Every face becomes a quick confession, every laugh says something happens here
That is where the living starts now, not in safety, not in second sight
Only where the pulse gets louder, and the body answers now, answers now
One more look, one more turn, one more thing I never learned, one more spark, one more truth
Tonight belongs to reckless you
Party till the lights go blue, till the dark turns bright on you, till the bass runs through the floor, and you still want more
Party till the lights go blue, till the night comes fully true
If the heart is here to move, let it break right through all night, all night, all night, all night
Maybe all this noise is holy, maybe all this heat is real
Maybe what we call a party is the place we start to feel
So if the room is still on fire, and the rhythm still cuts through, I am staying with the motion till the whole night turns blue, turns blue, turns blue
Party till the lights go blue, till the dark turns bright on you, till the bass runs through the floor, and you still want more
Party till the lights go blue, till the night comes fully true
If the heart is here to move, let it break right through all night, all night, all night
Party till the lights go blue, go blue, go blue
When the City Opens
All the roads you took are glowing
Every late light led us here
Every, almost every, maybe
Now it's shining bright and clear
I can hear the whole room breathing
I can feel the air expand
And the night around us opens
Like this moment had been planned
I have watched the dark turn golden
I have watched the distant near
What was broken, what was scattered
Now has found its meaning here
Every hour felt uncertain
Every door that closed too soon
Found its answer in this moment
Under one electric moon
One more spark, one more flame
Touch my heart, say my name
Now the city opens wide
When the city opens
We are standing in the light
Every long road, every lost road
Brought us to this night
When the city opens
Hands up to the heat and sound
If love is living in the music
Let it lift the whole room now
Rise up, rise up
Hear the flute above the skyline
Hear the strings begin to fly
Hear the horns turn fire to color
Hear the bass roll low and wide
Every step now feels like winning
Every glance becomes a sign
And the room keeps growing brighter
Like the stars came down in time
One more kiss, one more turn
One more thing we had to learn
Love was waiting in the sound
When the city opens
We are standing in the light
Every long road, every lost road
Brought us to this night
When the city opens
Hands up to the heat and sound
If love is living in the music
Let it lift the whole room now
Rise up, rise up
Instrumental
Maybe all the missed tomorrows
Had to lead us here somehow
Maybe all the broken pieces
Only taught us to love now
So let the music rise around us
Let the whole sky come unwound
If we found each other in the rhythm
Let it keep us in the sound
When the city opens
We are standing in the light
Every long road, every lost road
Brought us to this night
When the city opens
Hands up to the heat and sound
If love is living in the music
Let it lift the whole room now
Rise up, rise up
When the city opens
When the city opens
When the city opens
