"All Bets Are Off" lyrics

"All Bets Are Off"

Saw you the second you walked in
A sheen of icy sweat covered my skin
It turns out time don't change a thing
Avoid your eyes, and down my drink
Deepest, darkest corner of the place
When a single glance gave me away
You froze, fired back a feral stare
Wanted to smile, but didn't dare
All bets are off tonight

Didn't even notice all our friends take off
Busy talking like no time had passed at all
Situation caused us both to blush, glued
Together, and yet somehow, never touch
And despite the night's electric atmosphere
You suggest to me, that we, get out of here
When I asked you where, you wanted to go
Said how bout somewhere we can be alone
All bets are off tonight

The night was far from over
Practically busted down the door
Kissing like our lives depended on it
We fell onto a mattress on the floor
So come closer, closer to me
Til you can hear me breathing
And feel my heart beat
