[Verse 1]
She keeps dancing
Cuts the floor
Still awake for
Evermore
[Pre-Chorus]
Taking too much
Much too young
Our hearts spinning too fast, too far
To love someone
[Chorus]
We can make tonight
One of those Sister Ray kinda nights
It's your love, it's mythical, a ritual
Moving like a knife
It's close enough, it's dangerous
Gemini, it's your touch that's got me
We can make tonight
One of those Sister Ray kinda nights
It's your love, it's mythical, a ritual
Moving like a knife
It's close enough, it's dangerous
Gemini, it's your touch that's got me
[Verse 2]
Do you remember?
It was a clear night
Can almost taste it
A sweetness so right
[Pre-Chorus]
Taking too much
Much too young
Our hearts spinning too fast, too far
To lovе someone
[Chorus]
We can makе tonight
One of those Sister Ray kinda nights
It's your love, it's mythical, a ritual
Moving like a knife
It's close enough, it's dangerous
Gemini, it's your touch that's got me
We can make tonight
One of those Sister Ray kinda nights
It's your love, it's mythical, a ritual
Moving like a knife
It's close enough, it's dangerous
Gemini, it's your touch that's got me
(Crying for your love)
[Post-Chorus]
It's in your eyes
You know I've been dying to live like this
Straight up, pure cut
You know I've been dying to live like this (Crying for your love)
It's in your eyes
You know I've been dying to live like this
Straight up, pure cut
You know I've been dying to live like this
[Bridge]
Show your feelings
Show you care
Signs of life, I'll meet you there
Show your feelings
Show you care
Breathe the light, it's in the air
[Chorus]
We can make tonight
One of those sister ray kinda nights
It's your love, it's mythical, a ritual
Moving like a knife
It's close enough, it's dangerous
Gemini, it's your touch that's got me
We can make tonight
One of those sister ray kinda nights
It's your love, it's mythical, a ritual
Moving like a knife
It's close enough, it's dangerous
Gemini, it's your touch that's got me
(Crying for your love)
