In a statement Baker said,
“‘Dance’ is a song about wanting to dance and move and connect with someone, but it comes from a place of stillness and disconnection, so it’s also about mental health, and living and aging in a time when technology increasingly makes watchers out of doers.”
[Verse 1]
Here's to the other side
Lifted high
You get to the riverside
To see the valley rise
[Pre-Chorus]
Sorrow or joy
Which do you like?
If that's the choice
Then why can't you decide?
Is there nothing left? Only rusty flats
A chain-link fence pressing into your hands
We'll get you up and over it
'Cause I want nothing between us
[Chorus]
I wanna dance with you
That's what I wanna do
I wanna dance with you
I wanna see your body move
I wanna dance with you
That's all I wanna do
I wanna dance with you
[Verse 2]
I miss our younger years
I stretch to touch them
Smoke up the Cavalier
And keep the windows shut
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you wanna go back?
Well you know you can't
It's like a chain-link fence pressing into your back
But I got you now
I don't care about what you were before I came
Just come out with me tonight
[Chorus]
I wanna dance with you
That's what I wanna do
I wanna dance with you
I wanna see your body move
I wanna dance with you
That's all I wanna do
I wanna dance with you
