Lyrics

I, I loved you in secretFirst sight, yeah, we love without reasonOh, twenty-five years oldOh, how were you to know? AndMy, my love had been frozenDeep blue, but you painted me goldenOh, and you held me closeOh, how was I to know? I

I could've spent forever with your hands in my pocketsPicture of your face in an invisible locketYou said there was nothin' in the world that could stop itI had a bad feelin'And darlin', you had turned my bed into a sacred oasisPeople started talkin', puttin' us through our pacesI knew there was no one in the world who could take itI had a bad feelin'

But we were dancin'Dancin' with our hands tied, hands tiedYeah, we were dancin'Like it was the first time, first timeYeah, we were dancin'Dancin' with our hands tied, hands tiedYeah, we were dancin'And I had a bad feelin'But we were dancin'

I, I loved you in spite ofDeep fears that the world would divide usSo, baby, can we danceOh, through an avalanche? AndSay, say that we got itI'm a mess, but I'm the mess that you wantedOh, 'cause it's gravityOh, keeping you with me, I

I could've spent forever with your hands in my pocketsPicture of your face in an invisible locketYou said there was nothin' in the world that could stop itI had a bad feelin'

But we were dancin'Dancin' with our hands tied, hands tiedYeah, we were dancin'Like it was the first time, first timeYeah, we were dancin'Dancin' with our hands tied, hands tiedYeah, we were dancin' (Knew we had our hands tied)And I had a bad feelin'But we were dancin'

I'd kiss you as the lights went outSwayin' as the room burned downI'd hold you as the water rushes inIf I could dance with you againI'd kiss you as the lights went outSwayin' as the room burned downI'd hold you as the water rushes inIf I could dance with you again (Again, yeah)

Dancin' with our hands tied, hands tiedYeah, we were dancin' (Oh, yeah, we were dancin')Like it was the first time, first time (First time, first time)Yeah, we were dancin' (Oh)Dancin' with our hands tied, hands tied (Dancin' with our hands tied)Yeah, we were dancin'And I had a bad feelin' (Had a bad feelin')But we were dancin'

Hands tied, hands tied(Dancin')
