Dance With Me
Roger Shah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing left but the thought of you
Just memories to hold
I close my eyes to think of you
Forget the world around
The memories unfold
We dance, we kiss, we fight
To anoher world, so high
Cmon, take my hand
Dance with me
Its you I need, its you I feel
Theres no where else Id rather be
Its you I need, its you I see
Take my hand and dance with me
Dance with me
Just dance with me
Come dance with me
Please, dance with me
Come dance with me
Please, dance with me
Its you I need, its you I feel
Theres no where else Id rather be
Its you I need, its you I see
Take my hand and dance with me
Dance with me
Just dance with me
Come dance with me
Just dance with me
Come dance with me
Please, dance for me
Come dance with me
Please, dance for me
The song "Dance with Me" by Roger Shah is a love song about the longing and yearning for someone who is physically far away. The lyrics describe how the singer, though separated from their lover, can't help but think about them and reminisce on past memories. The memories of dancing, kissing, and even fighting with their lover take the singer to another world where they feel so high. The singer urges their lover to follow them and take their hand to dance together. The lyrics express a sense of desperation and urgency to be with their lover, as there is no one else they would rather be with.
The line "It's you I need, it's you I feel" is repeated multiple times in the song to emphasize the theme of being in love and needing that person to be with them. The repeated line "dance with me" suggests that the singer wants to escape reality and enter a world where they can be together through dance. The song's upbeat tempo and pop-like sound make it a catchy tune with a strong message.
Interestingly, "Dance with Me" was released in 2011 on Roger Shah's album "Openminded?!", which was heavily influenced by India's culture, music, and religion. The album was produced in Mumbai and featured various Indian vocalists like Aisling Jarvis, Moya Brennan, and Sian Kosheen. The album's tracks represented different Indian chakras or energy centers and aimed to connect listeners spiritually.

You are so far away
You are not physically close to me
Nothing left but the thought of you
I do not have anything of you except your image in my mind
Just memories to hold
All I have to cherish are memories
I close my eyes to think of you
I shut my eyes to visualize you better
Forget the world around
I want to shut out everything around me except you
The memories unfold
The thoughts of memorable times spent with you become more vivid and real
We dance, we kiss, we fight
We have experienced moments of passion and conflict in our relationship
To another world, so high
These moments together have transported us to another level of euphoria
Turn around, follow me
Let's leave all behind and join me where I stand
C’mon, take my hand
I want you to hold my hand and join as we dance together
Dance with me
Be my dancing partner and revel in bliss with me
It’s you I need, it’s you I feel
I have a longing and a feeling of closeness to only you
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be
Being with you is the ultimate destination for me
Take my hand and dance with me
I want you to hold my hand and experience the magic of dancing together
Just dance with me
Just come and join me in the act of dancing
Please, dance with me
I am urging you to dance and have fun with me
Please, dance for me
I want you to dance and show me your energy and excitement
