Dancing With My Heart Pt 1

That night at the bar you asked me to dance Singing along we both knew every word Wondering if there was the slightest chance That what you said you actually heard Or if it even dawned on you How the lyrics to that very song Fit the two of us so true Everything I'd been trying to say all along Was exactly what you were singing to me As the song went on I found myself lost Thinking about the us we used to be Even though I knew the cost My heart would be forced to pay And the challenges I might have to face If in the end things didn't go my way But in this moment and in this place None of those things mattered I just wanted to enjoy what I had at the time My thoughts running wild and scattered Could your head or heart be feeling anything like mine? Maybe I was reading too far into this But the man I saw in you tonight Was the man I met and the man I miss The one that caught my eye at first sight I saw in you something I couldn’t resist No matter how hard I tried to fight I couldn’t escape the urge to be kissed Even sitting here as I try to write Over and over I let it all replay Everything about that night Has stayed on my mind all day Wondering what it all meant to you Or if it’s crossed your mind at all Wishing I knew your point of view Waiting and hoping for you to call Even though I knew better then Still I guess I hoped it would be different this time And I let myself get lost in us once again Pretending in the end everything would be just fine But I'm only left with more questions than before Unable to understand How all these things you find so easy to ignore All it took was one touch of your hand And I could no longer think straight Even as the days have passed me by I think back to that night we stayed out so late Can't help but to let out a little sigh As I realize once again I took the bait Like a fish drawn to a hook I find it's myself that I hate Sometimes I feel like such an open book Seems like you know just what to do To get the best of me When I least expect you to But of course that's how it would be And I'd fall right into your trap each and every time Nothing good ever comes from this Only leaves me with one more rhyme As I sit here and reminisce
