Where the Colors Spin

You picked the red—now look at me

Gold hoops catch the light when I turn your way

You wait by the doorway, pretending you're calm

One wink

Beige silk tied with a quick little bow

Your grin

I steal your cufflink and hide it below

Find me

By the white sofa, fixing one curl

Come on

Let’s go make the ballroom ours tonight

Meet me where the colors spin

One red kiss, and count me in

You say, “Ready?”—I say, “Almost,” then I check that tie

You laugh, lift one gold bangle, give me that side-eye

Past the round tables, blue glass floating in the air

We step onto the polished floor; you pull me by the stare

You spin once, dress sways, every head turns round

I lose my best excuse when your heels touch down

Say it twice: “Come closer”—you know I’ll obey

Say it twice: “Come closer”—then you steal my place

That red-lipped smirk puts the whole room on pause

I offer you my hand; you rewrite all the laws

Meet me where the colors spin, let the crowd blur thin

One red kiss, and count me in

Your lipstick leaves a signature just under my grin

No more clever lines to hide behind

Your hand finds mine; the room falls out of time

Keep that little smile, keep me guessing still

One step, two hearts, and the night bends to your will

Meet me where the colors spin (where they spin)

One red kiss, and count me in (count me in)

Meet me where the colors spin (closer, closer)

One red kiss, and count me in (say when)

Meet me where the colors spin (you and me)

One red kiss, and count me in

You picked the red—now look at me
