There's something in the air tonight
A feeling that you have that could change your life
There's something burning up inside
I reach out for you and our hearts collide
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
Hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight (x4)
We're searching for a love alive,
We're drowning in the silence as we walk the night
Your hand is out and brushes mine
A moment that is frozen as we hang in time
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
Hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight (x4)
A feeling that you have that could change your life
There's something burning up inside
I reach out for you and our hearts collide
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
Hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight (x4)
We're searching for a love alive,
We're drowning in the silence as we walk the night
Your hand is out and brushes mine
A moment that is frozen as we hang in time
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
Hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight
With hearts on fire I reach out to you tonight (x4)

It's about an encounter with somebody and theres that feeling that it's time for something to change between the two people and the spark begins...
It almost seems like a once off oppurtunity or moment as if the next day it will all be a memory or something
Indeed, a moment of passion. Maybe meeting someone at a concert where they're both enjoying it, they brush each other and glance over. He's reaching out through a gaze but let's it go and off to the night they both go.
love, pure love. like the sparkly euphoria of being drunk and making a random connection with someone, which, come to think of it, is all anyone ever really wants from a night out.
"We're searching for a love alike,
We're drowning in the silence as we walk the night
Your hand is out and brushes mine
A moment that is frozen as we hang in time".
what is being described here is magical.
love the contrasting images of fire vs night.
This is a personal reference by Cut Copy frontman Dan Whitford to his mate Julian Gilchrist who is playing the saxophone outtro from about 2m 15s into the song. Jules is the genius behind this sound that gradually takes your heart on a soaring emotional ride through the latter half of this song.
Unfortunately Julian died of a massive heart attack induced by his enormous cocaine habit during the final recording session of this album, a party described by those who were there as a party that would have made a Fleetwood Mac recording session look like bible studies.
My mate Jules is a legend and I want people to know about his contribution to this song. Thanks and peace brothers.
