I Don't Know How to Dance

I saw her standing alone with her heart in her hands

Dripping blood to the floor

She still wanted to dance

Her toes tapped time in perfect rhythm

Teary eyes in tunnel vision

I wanna be near you

But I never learned how to dance

One thing's certain

If I don't act now then I might miss my chance

So I'm racking my brain for something clever to say

Started moving my legs in a peculiar way

My tongue go tied

And tangled in your teeth

Shoelaces trapped under my feet

I wanna be near you

But I never learned how to dance

One thing's certain

If I don't act now then I might miss my chance

To say

You were the one that got away

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know how to dance

But lately I've been thinking I could give it a chance

If you want me to

I would learn for you

Now I'm counting my steps and tripping over the words

Losing track of the time, everything is a blur

You lean in close and whisper in my ear

"I wanna be near you

But I never learned how to dance"

One thing's certain

If I don't act now then I might miss my chance

To say

You were the one that got away

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know how to dance

But lately I've been thinking I could give it a chance

If you want me to

I would learn for you

Oh won't you show me how

Oh won't you show me how

Oh won't you show me how

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know how to dance

But lately I've been thinking I could give it a chance

If you want me to

I would learn for you

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know how to dance

But lately I've been thinking I could give it a chance

If you want me to

I would learn for you
