lyrics

We almost didn't make it, but I'm glad you found the mallet.
Would you lift it over your head,
And swing it slow, but instead I drew closer.
You look good in yellow. Too good for this fellow.
The truth is that since I found this song in me, I've been feeling long in the tooth.
It's you.
I'll put on some Sinatra. You smell like sweet Sriracha tonight.
And I don't know who I am, cause I think I thought I wanted to dance.
Shoes with little buckles to pop all of the bubbles,
And here I am in a hard hat. I'm working on this and that.
My dear, save me?
I understand the weather. It's too warm for this pleather tonight.
I always overthink it, so I think that only means that I'm right.
But I don't know who I am, cause I think I thought I wanted to dance.
I think I thought I wanted to dance.
Now I could never take the time to learn a couple of steps.
I could have been the boss of me. I'm just the boss of what's left.
You can cut your bangs off, baby. I don't care.
I'd recognize you anywhere.
Because I see you everywhere.
Because I see you everywhere.
