[Verse 1]
I've never been able
To tread the wood planks
I lurk in the shadows
As the couples take their place
You put your hand in the small of my back
I try to lead it to the floor

My tears pool and pool
As I watch you
[Refrain]
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance
[Verse 2]

[Refrain]
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance

Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance
[Verse 4]
From the banks children stare
They [?]
Trainers snatch their bridles
And pull, pull, pull, and pull
I think to go back to the shore
But, no, not that
Logic [?]
As I step, step, step, and step
As I
[Refrain]
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance
