• I want you by my side
  So that I never feel alone again
  They've always been so kind
  But now they've brought you away from here
  I hope they didn't get your mind
  Your heart is too strong anyway
  We need to fetch back the time
  They have stolen from us
  
  And I want you
  We can bring it on the floor
  You've never danced like this before
  We don't talk about it
  Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
  Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it
  
  And I want you
  We can bring it on the floor
  You've never danced like this before
  We don't talk about it
  Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
  Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it
  
  Shouldn't talk about it
  
  Coldest winter for me
  No sun is shining anymore
  The only thing I feel is pain
  Caused by absence of you
  Suspense is controlling my mind
  I cannot find the way out of here
  
  I want you by my side
  So that I never feel alone again
  
  And I want you
  We can bring it on the floor
  You've never danced like this before
  We don't talk about it
  Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
  Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it
  
  And I want you
  We can bring it on the floor
  You've never danced like this before
  We don't talk about it
  Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
  Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it
  Shouldn't talk about it
  
  And I want you
  We can bring it on the floor
  You've never danced like this before
  We don't talk about it
  Dancin' on do the boogie all night long
  Stoned in paradise, shouldn't talk about it
  Shouldn't talk about it Writer/s: Clemens Rehbein

• David from Maple ValleyAs I fought to regain my 22 year marriage and my daughter, I was fighting against forces of wicked people that ultimately stole them away from me.
  
  During those 18 months, this song buoyed me to remain optimistic and see potential for joy.
• Ethan from UsaI think it's about 2 lovers, and people got in the way and in between them, and they lost the time with eachother and gradually lost love, that's why it's called stolen dance, and he says "fetch back the time, they have stolen from us". It's a song about reconnecting and igniting where they left off, even though it doesn't seem possible
• Lola The Dancer from United States I took it to mean meeting someone after you have been single for a long time after a bad relationship and you finally meet someone special and you want to be happy again, but the ability to feel joy has been compromised, ". . . get back the the time they have stolen from us". You don't even want to talk about it, you don't want to hear what anyone else has to say about it, you just want to get back out there and have fun and, "boogie all night long", "stoned in the paradise" of a new love.
  
  I guess the lyrics are vague enough so the mean different things to people.
• Elijah from Nyc “Never danced like this before” “dancing on, do the bogie all night long. Stoned in paradise.” Uppers. Clearly geekin through the night
• Erased Father from NzFor me the song reminds me of my situation of being a father separated from my daughter through the family courts by my vindictive ex and how badly I miss my little girl who was stolen from me.
• Massascensionofconsiousness4humanity from TxStolen Dance to me is more of a spiritual song for me. The deeper meaning I see in the song is a man who sees an evil world and longs for the God of love and unity. Shocked and saddened by the world he sees, he is determined to address the evil on a spiritual level to get back the "stolen dance" thats been taking from him and everyone else in the world. "SHOULDN'T TALK ABOUT IT," "WE DON'T TALK ABOUT IT"
