The story & lyrics

The story behind this song

The band counts in, the lights drop low, and two hundred turned chairs somehow vanish all at once. Her dress still smells like the morning's steam; the pins are still fussed into her hair. She steps out of her shoes onto the parquet and laughs against his collarbone, and the room goes quiet as a held breath.

Fifty years on, a kitchen radio will stumble onto this and they'll push back the chairs and find the exact same sway. For the couple wanting three minutes that belong to absolutely no one else.

Lyrics

The band counts in, the lights go low
Give me your hand — here we go
Your dress still smells like morning steam
The pins they fussed in your hair
Two hundred chairs all turned our way
And I can't find one of them anywhere
The room goes quiet as a held breath
It's only us from here
This is our first forever dance
The floor was built for where you stand
Every turn I get to take
I'm taking with your hand in mine, my love
One song, one ring, one chance —
Our first forever dance
You stepped out of your shoes just now
Bare feet on the parquet shine
You laugh against my collarbone
The clock can keep its time, we'll keep ours
Let the cameras flash and fade
We won't remember them
This is our first forever dance
The floor was built for where you stand
Every turn I get to take
I'm taking with your hand in mine, my love
One song, one ring, one chance —
Our first forever dance
Fifty years from now, some kitchen radio
Will stumble on this song
And we'll push back the chairs and find this exact slow sway
Like we never once stopped dancing
This is our first forever dance
The floor was built for where you stand
Every turn I get to take
I'm taking with your hand in mine, my love
One song, one ring, one chance —
Our first forever dance
The band can pack up slow tonight
We're not done — hold tight
