Lose it
Oh Wonder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sunset high and our bodies low
Blood rush in the hazy glow
My hands, your bones
Looser we break the scene
One step deep as you fall to me
Heart clap, we skip a beat
Count one, two, three
And don't you stop the music, get into it
Won't you dance with me?
Find a space and lose it, you can do it
Won't you dance with me?
Move your feet and feel it
In the space between
You gotta give yourself a moment
Let your body be
We gotta lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it, lose it, lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it, lose it, lose it
We gotta lose it
Your name I'll never know
As we get down in the world below
Caught up in an overflow
My hands, your bones
Wide eyed, you look at me
Set on fire in a silver dream
Spin 'round you can feel the breeze
Count one, two, three
And don't you stop the music, get into it
Won't you dance with me?
Find a space and lose it, you can do it
Won't you dance with me?
Move your feet and feel it
In the space between
You gotta give yourself a moment
Let your body be
We gotta lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it, lose it, lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it, lose it, lose it
We gotta lose it
Make a spark, break the dark
Find a light with me
Who we are from the start
Won't you dance with me?
Make a spark, break the dark
Find a light with me
Who we are chasing stars
Won't you dance with me?
Won't you dance with me?
And don't you stop the music, get into it
Won't you dance with me?
Find a space and lose it, you can do it
Won't you dance with me?
Move your feet and feel it
In the space between
You gotta give yourself a moment
Let your body be
We gotta lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it, lose it, lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it, lose it, lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it, lose it, lose it
We gotta lose it
Lose it, lose it, lose it
We gotta lose it
Move your feet and feel it
In the space between
You gotta give yourself a moment
Let your body be
We gotta lose it
We gotta lose it

Downtown we let it go
We release our inhibitions and embrace the freedom of the city
Sunset high and our bodies low
The sun is setting but we are still feeling the effects of the day in our relaxed bodies
Blood rush in the hazy glow
Our bodies are energized and our surroundings are obscured but beautiful
My hands, your bones
We are physically connected, holding onto each other
Looser we break the scene
We become more carefree and unconventional as we move away from societal norms
One step deep as you fall to me
As we embrace each other, we fall deeper into the moment
Heart clap, we skip a beat
We feel a physical reaction to each other's presence, causing our hearts to skip a beat
Count one, two, three
We move in unison, following a rhythm
And don't you stop the music, get into it
We want to keep the music going and fully immerse ourselves in the experience
Won't you dance with me?
Let's enjoy this moment together
Find a space and lose it, you can do it
Let yourself go and fully embrace the music and atmosphere
Move your feet and feel it
Let the music guide your body and feel it in your bones
In the space between
The space where we exist together, connected by the music and physical proximity
You gotta give yourself a moment
Take a break from everyday life and allow yourself to fully experience the moment
Let your body be
Allow your body to be free and move with the music
Your name I'll never know
We don't need to know each other's names to connect in this moment
As we get down in the world below
We let go of our worries and immerse ourselves in the experience
Caught up in an overflow
We are swept up in the energy of the environment
Wide eyed, you look at me
We make eye contact and become more present in the moment
Set on fire in a silver dream
We are inspired and energized, caught in a surreal moment
Spin 'round you can feel the breeze
We move together and feel the physical sensation of spinning
Make a spark, break the dark
We have the power to change the energy of our surroundings and create light
Find a light with me
Let's bring light and positivity to our surroundings
Who we are from the start
We are connected, despite not knowing each other's names or backgrounds
We gotta lose it
We need to let go of our inhibitions and fully embrace the moment
Lose it, lose it, lose it
Let go completely and immerse yourself in the experience
Move your feet and feel it
Let the music guide your movements and feel it in your bones
Lose it, lose it, lose it
Fully embrace the moment and let go completely
We gotta lose it
We need to embrace the freedom of the moment and let go of our inhibitions

This is an amazing video. It's a terrific metaphor for life.
First you start learning how to dance alone, and then a bunch of crazy shit starts happening without any kind of warning and you need to figure out your place in the group.
Everyone has a different way of fitting in, and as long as you're making a genuine attempt to add your song and dance to everyone elses, there's no real way to fail.
"Life's a (dance) you don't get to rehearse"
Fucking brilliant.
