This is the first NURVIS song. The idea was from a song I wrote in 1989. That version had lyrics and vocals by my sister, Julie. When NURVIS was formed, I re-did the music, and Susan added some of her own lyrics and vocal melody ideas.

Musically, it's based on a synthpop song I wrote in 1989 with my sister Julie. Updated, with new musical as well as lyrical content, it tells the story of the infatuation and excitment of the first time you meet someone you know you'd like to be with.

Late on a Friday night, I walk in through the door
Familiar faces there, voices I've heard before
As I reach out my hand, and turn to say hello
I feel your eyes on me and I know, I don't want you to go

Running behind the trees, we're hiding from the light,
that's shining on the moon, and lighting up the night
Then when our fingers clasp, I feel the walls collapse
Oh I can't take no more, but I don't want to close the door

Eyes so warm, I've never seen before
I want to see again, it's too much to pretend
So turn the red lights off, and send the guards away
You hold the stars for me - inside your eyes I want to stay

...Inside your eyes...
...Ooooooooh...

...I want to run and hide with you...
...I can't turn away...

Only want to be with you
Tell me that you will be true
Tell me that you will be mine
Want to run and hide with you
Need your love to get me through
Need to have you here with me

Come on let me hide with you
Promise that I will be true
Giving all my love to you
Only want to be with you
Tell me that you will be true
Only want to be with you

When I look in your eyes
You make me scared inside
But I can't turn away
Come on let's dance a while

Just, hold me in your smile...
