Something In The Air

There's something in the air tonight.
I feel it all around me,
Closing in, dancing on my skin,
An electrical jolt, a lightning bolt
Straight through my heart, a poison dart.
Into my blood this venom flows,
I feel my senses begin to slow.
There's something in your eyes tonight.
I can't look away, try as I might.
It captures me, enraptures me.
Frozen in time, chosen to be
The victim of your affinity.
Imprisoned by chains, set free by the rain
Falling from your eyes.
There's something in your touch tonight.
Some call it lust, some call it love.
I'll just call it forever, a secret endeavor
Taking us far, lifting us high above
The disparaging stares, the condemning glares.
No one believes in us, no one cares.
But if they could feel what I feel
And see what I see shining in your eyes,
They'd understand, they'd realize,
It's out of their hands, and in our hearts,
And nothing can ever tear us apart.
There's something in the air tonight,
Growing strong, glowing bright.
I think we've found our Paradise.
