Still Though We Should Dance

Sifting through the rubble of my mispent life

No home of my own, no child, no wife

Every kind of error and all kinds of strife

Days lived in a trance

People that I’ve hurt, more than a few

I told a lot of lies ‘stead of what was true

Always left the real for the slick and new romance

Still, I’m gonna dance

Looking through the pages of my past regrets

All the days and weeks I wish I could forget

Feeling a disaster but at least well-dressed

I always wore the pants

Moments I was happy, though I can’t deny

Burned a lot of bridges and I don’t know why

Gotta face the music, ‘cause it might be my last chance

No choice but to dance

As my stats went skyward my joy went down

Felt like I’d been dropped at the lost and found

Tried to stop it sliding but it’s coming down

Like an avalanche

I’m not superstitious though I feared I was cursed

You’d think that almost drowning would have quenched my thirst

But you walked in the room and I knew at our first glance

With you I wanna dance

Terror often grips me and I want to run

Like staring down the barrel of a loaded gun

Been a lot of things but I was never one

For making long term plans

Maybe you and I are the yang and yin

I really wanna hate but my case is thin

My brain wants out but my heart’s now in your hands

So maybe we should dance
