## Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When we are in colour
In ecstasy, we're spinning through
We call that one heaven
You knew I wanted you to make that move

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Once upon a time in passion
I would blindly look the other way
I would go numb to your reaction
But I've been tryin' to find a new way

[Chorus]
You think it's on lock 'cause we got potential
Not gonna talk, keep it confidential
Nights with you are becoming essential
(Nobody, you're like nobody else)
You think it's on lock 'cause we got potential
Don't wanna stop, wanna love, I'm meant to
Nights with you are becoming essential
(Nobody, you'rе like nobody else)

[Verse 2]
Makе me wait on this forever
I didn't mean to suddenly retreat
Have you gone found somewhere better?
If you don't walk away, I won't walk away

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But if you pull back, I'll take a step back
Don't think I can call for backup
Telling you now, I'm telling you now

[Chorus]
You think it's on lock 'cause we got potential
Not gonna talk, keep it confidential
Nights with you are becoming essential
(Nobody, you're like nobody else)
You think it's on lock 'cause we got potential
Don't wanna stop, wanna love, I'm meant to
Nights with you are becoming essential
(Nobody, you're like nobody else)

[Post-Chorus]
(You're like nobody, you're like nobody else)
(You're like nobody, you're like nobody else)

[Bridge]
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
(You're like nobody, you're like nobody else)
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
(You're like nobody, you're like nobody else)
[Chorus]
You think it's on lock 'cause we got potential
Not gonna talk, keep it confidential
Nights with you are becoming essential
(Nobody, you're like nobody else)
You think it's on lock 'cause we got potential
Don't wanna stop, wanna love, I'm meant to
Nights with you are becoming essential
(Nobody, you're like nobody else)

[Outro]
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
(You're like nobody, you're like nobody else)
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
Don't make me wait on you, don't make me wait on you
(You're like nobody, you're like nobody else)
