Lyrics Missy Higgins – Around You

The only time we’ve ever danced
Was in my dream the other night
Your hands were rough yet, soft enough
And you wore me, like cotton cloth

The room we danced in, knew no time
Life’s only measure within your eyes
And a silent love flew, while hovering
Tiny birds sang perfectly

All around you
All around you, what a nice night
Around you, I stayed

I don’t think you saw me
Nor I you
‘Cause looks were of another time
Realm and Shallow view

We just tiptoed gently from side to side
And let weightless rhythm be our guide

All around you
All around you, what a nice night
Around you, I stay

‘Cause around you I found out, you act as steel
The sky turns into ground, or things get too real
Around me oh oh oh…

All around you, what a nice night
Around you, I stay

And when the world came, tumbling in
And morning light shined on tired skin
I took a second before I began to grin
As I remember, I had just been

All around you
