All Over Again
We've done this song and dance before.
You left my heart bleeding on the floor.
One step, Two step
Like swans we grace across the polished ground.
Three step, Four step
With our eyes blind we rely on the passionate sound.
The maestro knows our faces.
We rush, "Take your places!"
One step, Two step
The music so familiar.
Three step, Four step
"Don't be shy now, embrace one another!"
Your friends at the left calling your name.
My friends on the right doing the same.
One step, two step
The distance between us grows.
Three step, Four step
The fear in my eyes shows.
We've arrived at our separate worlds.
I'm with the boys, you're with the girls.
One step, Two step
"She's quite the looker man."
Three step, Four step
"Ah, he's just another member of the boy clan."
I fight for a deeper interest.
You fight for a unique difference.
One step, Two step
You're so much more than a perfect beauty.
Three step, Four step
You look past my friends, at me.
Laughs, pretentious laughs fill both our ears.
Ashamed of their ignorance we fight back tears.
One step, Two step
We come to a dramatic realization.
Three step, Four step
Our friends created the separation.
When we did this same dance before.
Our friends shook us down to the core.
One step, Two step
We can't let them do it again.
Three step, Four step
The music, it sweeps our feet like living wind.
The music leads us to our decision.
We return to the dance floor without restriction.
One step, Two step
Our friends look on confused.
Three step, Four step
We embrace and smile amused.
We dance the same dance all over again
This time we will judge our performance
Not her.
Not him.
