Diamonds on the Wooden Floor

Midnight caught us mid-confession
Underneath the mirror ball
Trading pride for cheap protection
Waiting for the sky to fall

You take my hand like it's a favor
I hold your gaze like it's a debt
We move like fire in the vapor
To songs we haven't suffered yet

Throw your sorrow to the violins
Let the brass blow out the pain
Every hollow heart begins
To sound like thunder in the rain

And we leave diamonds on the wooden floor
Sweat and tears we cannot save
If love is nothing but a swinging door
Teach my feet how to behave
Yes we leave diamonds on the wooden floor
Spinning fast before we fade
Give me one last beat to answer for
The promises we never made

Silver lights across your shoulder
Shadows laughing in the groove
Every second growing older
With so much left we cannot prove

The bassline climbs into the ceiling
The strings are begging for release
It's not the fever that I'm feeling
It's just the sudden rush of peace

Throw your sorrow to the violins
Let the brass blow out the pain
Every hollow heart begins
To sound like thunder in the rain

And we leave diamonds on the wooden floor
Sweat and tears we cannot save
If love is nothing but a swinging door
Teach my feet how to behave
Yes we leave diamonds on the wooden floor
Spinning fast before we fade
Give me one last beat to answer for
The promises we never made

Hush now, darling, keep the tempo
Don't you look toward the dawn
Morning is a thief we know
When the orchestra has gone

So leave the diamonds on the wooden floor
Let them shine under the broom
I don't want your mercy anymore
Just dance me through the empty room

Diamonds on the floor tonight
Dancing till we lose the light
Diamonds on the wooden floor
Just one more beat, and nothing more
