It's Only Dancing - Jeremy Messersmith

Late night call and I’m at your door

Teenage tears on the kitchen floor

I pull you close, hold my breath

Feel your heart beat through your summer dress

Shuffle our feet slowly to the stereo

And if your boyfriend suddenly appears

If your father comes home and finds us here

You and I, we won’t need an alibi

It’s only dancin'

It’s only dancin'

Mirror ball and a cover band

Just for kicks, won’t you take my hand?

It’s something that all good friends do

It’s not like I’m in love with you

What a crazy idea, where did you get that?

Let’s tangle up our fingertips

And I’ll rest a hand upon your hips

Nothing to see, it’s all so innocent

It’s only dancin'

It’s only dancin'

It’s only dancin'

It’s only dancin'

Clip-on tie and a sweater vest

You wear a veil and a wedding dress

I watch you part a crowded room

A perfect bride and a perfect groom

As you float across the ballroom in his arms

And I wanna scream, I wanna burst

I wanna blame the whole damn universe

But the same three words I whisper to myself:

It’s only dancin'

It’s only dancin'

It’s only dancin'

Yes, it’s only dancin'
