[Intro]
Red scarf on my neck
Gold hoops in the light
Jasmine in my hair
I came to dance tonight (hey)
[Verse 1]
Hookah smoke curling slow
Henna stains on my wrist
Lipstick on a glass
I feel the room shift
Eyes across the floor
Coffee-dark
Fixed on mine
One step
Then another
Like we been here all this time
[Chorus]
Midnight in Marrakech
You say my name like a secret
Your hands at my waist
I forget the rest
We move like we already mean it
Midnight in Marrakech
Lost in your eyes
I can’t reset
A stranger I never
Ever met
But my heart says you’re my safest bet
[Verse 2]
You ask me where I’m from
“L.A. born
Arab blood”
You laugh and touch my palm
Like you’re reading what I’ve done
You talk about the desert
I talk about the coast
But in this crowded room
It’s like we’re all alone
[Chorus]
Midnight in Marrakech
You say my name like a secret
Your hands at my waist
I forget the rest
We move like we already mean it
Midnight in Marrakech
Lost in your eyes
I can’t reset
A stranger I never
Ever met
But my heart says you’re my safest bet
[Bridge]
Spinning slow
Spinning slow (ohh)
Lanterns blur into gold
If this is wrong
I don’t wanna know
If this is fast
Let it still unfold
“Stay till dawn
” you say close to my ear
I don’t even hear the crowd disappear
[Chorus]
Midnight in Marrakech
You say my name like a secret
Your hands at my waist
I forget the rest
We move like we already mean it
Midnight in Marrakech
Lost in your eyes
I can’t reset
A stranger I never
Ever met
But my heart says you’re my safest bet
[Outro]
Red scarf on the chair
Your number on my wrist
I walked in just to dance
I’m walking out in this twist (hey)
Midnight in Marrakech
And I’m already missing your kiss
