Standing the Fence

You've been comin' every night this week With just a glimpse of things to say Staring across the floor at me With invitations I can't take As we lock eyes you turn your gaze Staying busy with your drink Can't change the feelin' in my face That every look is a look away This crowded room will break your heart If you keep standing there With flowers in your hair How could I forget you With you lookin' over at me If you keep standing the Fence Keeping your thoughts to yourself I can't get you if you won't get up and dance And you won't get up and dance You won't get up and dance How could I come get you if you won't get up and dance Can't believe you're coming over here My heart's beating uncontained A sigh of relief inside my chest That you've made up the mind you've made Casually spilling whiskey on the shoes Of the stranger next to me And you smile like it's all a laugh You wink and walk and you've escaped This crowded room will break your heart Should've been far more aware But I could never choose between here And over there If you keep standing there With flowers in your hair How could I forget you With you looking over at me And if you keep standing the Fence Keeping your thoughts to yourself I can't get you if you won't get up and dance And you won't get up and dance You won't get up and dance How could I come get you if you won't get up and dance
