The dance floor
was dirty and wet
You swore you'd never
Come around again to
This Two Bit Bar
"But they make the drinks I like
And there's never a crowd
And I can hang with the bands
And There's a dark corner
I want to share with you."
With a flurry of fury
I was spun around
and yanked me against you
"You've gained weight"
"And you've grown thin"
Still, As I cave in
You lean back
As you push on
I pull away
How complementary
Who'd have known
after all this time
we'd still have it
The moves that sent us packing
would cause our collision
The breath between our friction
slips through our fingers
hangs behind the teeth
of wild-eyed wonders
who find us awe inspiring
Every little thing
we crushed against one another
Every broken bone
Each shattered vase
Means nothing at all
I lay my arms about my chest
and stretch my spine up
presenting myself
calling forth the sky
And snap back
We hit point inside the beat
It's infecting us
until we're no more
than accessories
to the power of music
When we lost our sight
When we lost our touch
we kept pace together
flinging ourselves around
Lost and Found
"But I don't drink
And there's always someone stupid
Hanging around with the bands
And there's always the idiot
Who's trying to steal you away from me."
"Do you hear that?"
"A bottle? What did I hit?"
With our arms extended
I careen around the room
Flowing through your exuberance.
I love you, always, forever
No matter where you go
Who you find
This will always be ours
Clearly now I am yours
"Do you smell that?"
"Somebody's getting lit."
With our eyes interlocked
We share a moment
recognizing our intent
I love you, always, forever
No matter where you are
What you find
This was always gonna ours
Plainly now I am yours
"you used to drag me out
to this god forsaken place
To hang out with the bands
With the masses of idiots
Who never really understood you."
"Cause you never used to take me out
to bright sunny places
To hang out with friends
With the only people
Who always really loved you."
The words seemed so excessive
useless and noisy
none of it impacted me
the way we meant it to
And we got lost
Holding onto one another
you fisted my hand
and yanked me to your side
with a simple determined glance
We stumbled out of view
The purpose is strong,
loud, it's a little much
all of it seemed
to mean something
And we were lost
Then there was nothing
a long period of static
everything stupid
became important
And then we were gone
But the drive ended
I found myself seeing
something old, something new,
something borrowed
something blue
Now we're doing something stupid
something we learned in High School
Something we never could let go
That thing from where we were found
"That's 'Cause I only ever wanted
to be only with you.
To be with the one
who seemed to get it
The one I can honestly say I loved."
Our dance floor
is Dirty and Wet
We came here every week
To try and make this work
Here in the lost and found.
