Emily James
Dancing with a Thief
[Verse 1]
They say he's not the type that walks by twice
The boy with the notorious sapphire eyes
Look only if you know the risk
'Cause every addiction comes with side effects
False hope and heartache have been known to infect
One out of ten survive
[Pre-Chorus]
But oh, he came over my way
"Hello," was all he had to say
Now it's too late to be saved
[Chorus]
He's a slow-walking lightning storm
That keep-you-up-at-night kinda thunder in your soul
A silent hurricane
He spun me 'round when I took his hand and
He stole my heart and my innocence, oh
Swayin' in the pouring rain
Underneath the sea of angels' tears
I'm slow dancing with a thief
[Verse 2]
Well, now I'm laying here, entangled with the night
Making my acquaintance with the candlelight
Wonderin' where it goes from here, mm
For now we're wrapped up in twilight's embrace
But when the morning rises
We must decide our fate, oh
I didn't know dawn could be so terrifying
[Chorus]
He's a slow-walking lightning storm
That keep-you-up-at-night kinda thunder in your soul
A silent hurricane
He spun me 'round when I took his hand and
He stole my heart and my innocence, oh
Swayin' in the pouring rain
Underneath the sea of angels' tears
I'm slow dancing with a thief
[Bridge]
Oh the gravity of this tragedy
Is pulling me but I don't know
Am I bound to be one more casualty
If I stay or of if I go?
[Chorus]
He's a slow-walking lightning storm
A lose-your-mind kinda thunder in your soul
A devastating hurricane
I knew as soon as I took his hand
I was givin' him my heart and my innocence, oh
Swayin' in the pouring rain
So while the saints and angels weep
I'm all alone and hopelessly
Slow dancing with a thief
Slow dancing with a thief
