Better Hold Tight lyrics

NICK, spoken:
Be honest
Would you have even danced with me
If we met at an officer’s ball?

JORDAN, spoken:
Would you have let me lead?

NICK, spoken:
I’d prefer it!
(sung)
Could it be 1917?
Have we stepped inside a time machine?

JORDAN:
Something out of H. G. Wells?
Or another one of Gatsby’s spells

NICK:
I think I see stars aligning

JORDAN:
Or my standards are declining

NICK:
You’re learning
To spot what you need
When to follow and when to-
JORDAN:
-keep following

NICK:
Oh, holding you is like clinging to a cloud

JORDAN:
Watch it

NICK:
I have to hold tight
Or you might fly away

JORDAN:
You know, I can’t help that
I rise above the crowd

NICK:
And I wouldn’t want it any other way!

JORDAN:
So you better hold tight
Or I might fly away
Never thought you were my style
Oh, keep me dizzy for a while
NICK:
Maybe it’s the uniform?

JORDAN:
Maybe it’s the dress I’ve never worn

BOTH:
You just might be my undoing
I do think there’s something brewing
What we do might be taboo
But I like that look on you
Oh, never thought
I’d hold starlight in my hand

JORDAN (NICK):
You better hold tight
Or I might fly away (You might fly away)

NICK:
You know
I could never afford
A second chance

JORDAN:
That's true!
NICK:
Better make my advance
Before the last dance starts to play
You better hold tight

JORDAN:
Hm- You better hold tight

BOTH:
We better hold tight
Before this flies away
Hey!

NICK, spoken:
I kind of like that dress

JORDAN, spoken:
Don't get used to it

BOTH, sung:
Flies away
