about

I can't dance, but if I could I would!

I hope you like this song :)

lyrics

There's nothing better than a Saturday night
When everybody's alive
But I'm a different kind
A fish on dry land,
A handlebar with no hand
A matchstick in a pool
Why's everybody so cool?

An afternoon at the mall
A light buzzing non stop
Some chalkboard scraping
First day of violin, on repeat
That's what a dance floor feels like to me

So I very slowly make my way to the bar
Then slowly get a drink
then get back to my seat
I fix my scarf
Then I try to blend in
Before anybody sees I am just listening

This might be boring to some
But I can't dance on demand
Despite what you can see
I am tapping my feet, on repeat
This is fun to me

Oh maybe maybe I wanna be on the news
For making stillness an exceptional tool
This is a superpower
There's nothing wrong with a wallflower
I'd rather watch them from a tower
I like it better on this side

If they come and ask "What's wrong?"
I say "I am dancing inside"
If they ask "Why are you here, then?"
I say "I tried to change my mind"
But I tried, and I tried
But I can't get no satisfaction

There's nothing better than a Saturday night
When everybody's alive
But I'm a different kind

I know it's hard to believe
There is nothing to deceive
I'm not waiting for you or for him
To come and set me free

I know you're trying to help
But I am fully content
To be outside the scene
Right where the speaker is, mon ami
That's where I'm meant to be

Oh maybe maybe I wanna be on the news
For making stillness an exceptional tool
This is a superpower
There's nothing wrong with a wallflower
I'd rather watch them from a tower
I like it better on this side
