May I Have This Dance

I saw you standing in the doorway,

Like the world had stopped spinning ‘round.

Every heartbeat felt like thunder,

Every breath, a shaky sound.

You were lit up by the moment,

Like the stars owed you their light.

I was only trying not to fall apart,

But you made that impossible tonight...

I swear I wasn’t looking,

But somehow you found me first.

And the moment felt like healing,

In a world that always hurts..

So, may I have this dance?

Just one chance to hold you,

Feel your heartbeat next to mine.

Promise I will never be a keeper,

Of a love that holds you down.

If love begins in seconds,

Then I am already in too deep.

Tell me, do I have a chance?

May I, may I have this dance?

I don't even know your story,

But I swear it already feels like home.

There’s a calm inside the chaos,

When you are standing close.

I am terrified to say it,

But I am done with playing safe;

If this is what the first time near you feels like,

I can’t wait to see what the future holds...

I am not asking for forever,

Just a moment in your eyes.

But if forever finds us later,

I won’t act like I am surprised...

I swear I wasn’t looking,

But somehow you found me first.

And the moment felt like healing,

In a world that always hurts.

So, may I have this dance?

Just one chance to hold you,

Feel your heartbeat next to mine.

Promise I will never be a keeper,

Of a love that holds you down.

If love begins in seconds,

Then I am already in too deep.

Tell me, do I have a chance?

May I, may I have this dance?
