In the very beginning after things fell apart, life was a rapid dizzying combination of alcohol, dating, rampaging, sexuality, dancing, fun, and always taking things too far. Everything was an adventure and everything had beauty in it and everything ended badly. This song is about those moments as they happened.
lyrics
Lets dance, dance, dance, dance the pain away
Drink, touch, kiss me, love it’s okay
Cause when the morning comes we can walk away
But tonight we can move, we can touch, we can dance, dance, dance
Cause I have gained my freedom but I’ve lost my home
I am bleeding, I am drinking, I am sleeping alone
And now I’m falling towards a future that’s completely unknown
I’ll end up face down in the gutters if I drink here alone
So lets dance, dance, dance, dance the pain away
Drink, touch, kiss me, love it’s okay
Cause when the morning comes we can walk away
But tonight we can move, we can touch, we can dance, dance, dance
Because tonight I’m filled with fire, don’t you feel the same?
I have a tendency to crush on every girl within range
But you cannot have my heart for it’s now made of stone
But wouldn’t you rather dance with me than be out dancing alone?
Lets dance, dance, dance, dance the pain away
Drink, touch, kiss me, love it’s okay
Cause when the morning comes we can walk away
But tonight we can move, we can touch, we can dance, dance, dance
Oh girl I know you have a boyfriend but you know he’s all wrong
He’s controlling, he’s an asshole, and you don’t get along
There’s you and I and there’s this bottle and it’s playing our song
So spend the night out here with me cause this is where we belong
Lets dance, dance, dance, dance the pain away
Drink, touch, kiss me, love it’s okay
Cause when the morning comes we can walk away
But tonight we can move, we can touch, we can dance, dance, dance
