I'm so tired but I can't sleep I know that if you were right here I'd be dancing on your feet People around me don't seem to notice I'm close to giving up, I'm breathless A voice inside my head grows stronger There's more for me left to say, this ain't over If someone was here I wouldn't have to dance alone But it don't matter 'cause I'm good at play-pretend And if you are a dream, then I will never fall asleep 'Cause why would I want a taste of something I could never have So I just dance alone Oh I just dance alone That's why you see me dancing So now you know why I'm dancing And I count all the words in my head So that they can fit in that phrase that you said A bunch of letters are slipping out They form a sound as they hit the ground So in a melody I found comfort From all the noise that exists in your world And then I play it so loud, I'm screaming It's all a game in my head when I'm dreaming If someone was here I wouldn't have to dance alone But it don't matter 'cause I'm good at play pretend And if you are a dream, then I will never fall asleep 'Cause why would I want a taste of something I could never have So I'll just dance alone Oh I'll just dance alone That's why you see me dancing So now you know why I'm dancing... alone So now you know why I'm dancing So now you know why I'm dancing So now you know why I'm dancing So now you know why I'm dancing... alone
