I danced in the living room,
There wasn't any music, just light,
And this sweet pervasive feeling,
That everything would be alright,
I had almost forgot what it felt like,
For everything to just be okay,
For the sun to rise and not see me cry,
And set the exact same way,
I danced in the living room,
And no was around to see,
The way I spun and twirled and danced,
Was completely and unabashedly me,
I almost forgot who that girl was,
Who calls my body home,
She's spent all this time aching to get out,
And I wish that I had known,
I danced in the living room,
Until I lost all that light,
But I held onto that feeling,
That everything would be alright.

I danced in the living room,
There wasn't any music, just light,
And this sweet pervasive feeling,
That everything would be alright,
I had almost forgot what it felt like,
For everything to just be okay,
For the sun to rise and not see me cry,
And set the exact same way,
I danced in the living room,
And no was around to see,
The way I spun and twirled and danced,
Was completely and unabashedly me,
I almost forgot who that girl was,
Who calls my body home,
She's spent all this time aching to get out,
And I wish that I had known,
I danced in the living room,
Until I lost all that light,
But I held onto that feeling,
That everything would be alright.
