It's Only Dancing

Late night call and I’m at your door
Teenage tears on the kitchen floor
I pull you close, hold my breath
Feel your heartbeat through your summer dress
Shuffle our feet slowly to the stereo
If your boyfriend suddenly appears
If your father comes home and finds us here
You and I, we won’t need an alibi

It’s only dancing
It’s only dancing

Mirror ball and a cover band
Just for kicks won’t you take my hand?
There’s something that all good friends do
It’s not like I’m in love with you
What a crazy idea, where did you get that?
Let’s tangle up our finger tips
And I’ll rest a hand upon your hips
There nothing to see, it’s all so innocent

It’s only dancing
It’s only dancing
It’s only dancing
It’s only dancing

Clip on tie and a sweater vest
You wear a veil and a wedding dress
I’ll watch you part a crowded room
A perfect bride and a perfect groom
As you float across the ballroom in his arms
And I want to scream, I want to burst
I want to blame the whole, damn universe
But the same words I whisper to myself

It’s only dancing
It’s only dancing
It’s only dancing
Yes, it’s only dancing
