Save This Dance Tonight

Has this reached its end?

Well I don't feel dead.

I left you in your car.

I walked straight ahead.

Your shadow reflected a glimmer. 

I knew there was something better,

to fill your time.

I walked to the beach and water,

You should have listened to your father,

keep me in your sights.

That’s the first move

You followed me down,

when my toes were in the sand.

You stopped me there,

offered me your hand.

Your speech was all mute and muddled. 

Like you were waiting for trouble,

to spark a fire.

My eyes met yours, the same you for I, 

I thought you didn't love me,

until your lips touched mine.

We were watching for the weather,

but our bodies got mixed tethered

like twine.

Please save this dance,

please save this dance,

please save this dance,

lets wait for more romance.

I've had a good few years,

under my belt.

I have to push you back,

until this, 

was what felt right.

We were short on time,

but that’s never enough.

I had to tell her again.

She. Choked. Up.

Just another start.

I guess it was enough for her.

Just another start.

To turn the distance from a dead end.

You couldn't get enough of drugs,

to fill an empty heart.

You need to jump that curb,

before you hit the top.

A better trade to fill our positions.

You were the one turned who ran.   

I only had to wait,

and watch for the start.

I never thought I'd cry,

until this fell apart.

The sun came up, 

and blinded my eyes.

I was awake all night, 

never thought, 

I would see the light.

Take me back to the start.

Has this reached its end?

Well I don't feel dead.

To tell you the truth,

I only felt that you lied.

I only showed you my compassion,

you threw back in my face.

Well if it counts,

I knew this would end.

It was a simple change,

I lost another friend.

This may have been the chance,

to have a good life.

I would like to see you smile,

you'll be a whore of a wife.

I should have known of this,

from the very start

I should have shut my lips,

watched this fall apart.

I want to save this dance,

for another day.

I set my eyes on you,

your just that big mistake.

Save this dance tonight.

Save this dance tonight.

Save this dance tonight.

Save this dance tonight.

Take me back to the start.

Remember me
