Verse

Loose shoelaces trail across the floor.

Lacci sciolti si allungano sul pavimento.

Leather soles rest by the door.

Suole di cuoio riposano alla porta.

Your quiet breath leads the way.

Il tuo respiro calmo guida la via.

We dance in a different way.

Danziamo in un modo diverso.

Chorus

Tip-tap on the white sheet.

Tip-tap sul lenzuolo bianco.

Five fingers find the beat.

Cinque dita trovano il battito.

Where we both belong.

Il posto a cui apparteniamo.

Verse

Counting time on your pale hand.

Contando il tempo sulla tua mano pallida.

Rhythms only we understand.

Ritmi che solo noi capiamo.

Metal plates wait in the dark.

Le placche metalliche aspettano nel buio.

Waiting for a tiny spark.

Aspettando una piccola scintilla.

Chorus

Tip-tap on the white sheet.

Tip-tap sul lenzuolo bianco.

Five fingers find the beat.

Cinque dita trovano il battito.

Where we both belong.

Il posto a cui apparteniamo.

Bridge

No wooden stage beneath us now.

Nessun palco di legno sotto noi.

I pull my chair beside your bed.

Avvicino la sedia al tuo letto.

You tap the rhythm back to me.

Mi rispondi battendo lo stesso ritmo.

Chorus

Tip-tap on the white sheet.

Tip-tap sul lenzuolo bianco.

Five fingers find the beat.

Cinque dita trovano il battito.

Tapping out a soft song.

Picchiettando una dolce canzone.

Where we both belong.

Il posto a cui apparteniamo.
