When The Music Ends

I know the steps
I know the rhythm
I know exactly where to stand
But somehow tonight
The stage feels different
The moment you reach for my hand

I've danced a thousand songs before
Faces fading with the light
But something in your eyes
Keeps pulling me closer
Like we've been moving toward this night

Maybe it's nothing
Maybe it's only the music
Then tell me why
Everything disappears when you're here

When the music ends
Will you still be standing beside me?
When the lights go out
Will you still look for my face?
We started as strangers
Lost inside the same melody
But somewhere between the silence
And the sound
You became my favorite place

Your hand on my waist
My heart skipping beats
I hope you can't tell
What it's doing to me

You smile and suddenly
The whole room fades away
And for the first time
I don't want this song to end

Maybe we're only pretending
For the audience watching
Then why does this feel
More real than anything else?

When the music ends
Will you still be standing beside me?
When the lights go out
Will you still look for my face?
We started as strangers
Lost inside the same melody
But somewhere between the silence
And the sound
You became my favorite place

I thought this was only a dance
I thought this was only a song
Then why does leaving hurt already?
Why does goodbye feel wrong?

When the music ends
I don't want the moment to leave us
When the lights go out
Stay here just a little longer

Maybe tomorrow
We'll call this nothing at all
But tonight
Between every heartbeat
Every step
Every glance
I found you
And somehow
You found me too
Let's stay until the music fades
