We both know how this dance ends But still we move hesitantly Reservations weigh our limbs down Because You have confidence issues And I am just the worst at dancing
The music is ridiculously loud And by the end of each week I swear I’m going deaf (Seriously- I think I can see our friends Giving us side-glares) (They can probably hear it too)
We dance around each other And each time my eyes meet yours Even though I’ve turned the dial as far as I thought it could go The music gets just that bit louder
These steps seem so familiar One to the left And you move to the right Now you step forward And I leap back (Trying my best not to trip too much along the way) (But I always do) (And you always notice) (*******)
And that’s not the only thing you know
You and I both know that the music gets so loud That I can’t even hear my heart beating when I’m around you (Quite a feat, believe me) And that your head would snap up at a single chord
And even though every memory of dancing that I have is a kick to my stomach You were always the one to pick me up when I got winded And even though you think you’re only on the fence between mediocre and satisfactory I was the one in the crowd who cheered for you at every chance I got
Maybe I can’t dance But you can And with the music filling our ears Maybe you can forget anyone else exists
