Dancer

I’ve never been much of a dancer

But I can still walk

I’ve never been enough to romance her

But we still talk

And if she gets the idea, picks up on what I say

I’ll just run my mouth, run us dry anyway

I’d hold out every night

Hoping that you’d call

Put on the quietest records

And sink into a lull

Pushing my heart rate up

Every time I heard a buzz

But that’s just the sound of the blood rushing from my lungs

You were just sixteen and bold

Teaching yourself where the lines drawn

Twisted our bodies in knots

Wasting each weekend until Fall

I’ve never been much of a dancer

But I can still walk

I’ve never been enough to romance her

But we still talk

And if she gets the idea, picks up on what I say

I’ll just run my mouth, run us dry anyway

You were just sixteen and bold

Teaching yourself where the lines drawn

Twisted our bodies in knots

Wasting each weekend until Fall
