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
