SHE CAN DANCE

(Album: BIG! - 2022)

Standing in the doorway of my empty childhood room
Wearing a shirt I've had since I was seventeen
I can see her curly hair and posters on the wall
And when I check the mirror, I see her in me

Always late and always loud
Couldn't seem to figure out a way
To be enough for them to notice
Second choice and second best
Couldn't say the things she meant
Or find the missing pieces that were broken

But she could dance, dance, dance
Even when it's raining
When the sky was falling down
Yeah, she could dance, dance, dance
With no music playing
Like nobody's watching now
She could dance
She could dance

I've seen bathrooms bigger than my old fourth floor apartment
Where I lived the year that I dropped out of school
Seven dollar coffees and the romance of the city
Where you think you won't get hurt until you do

Always tall and always proud
Couldn't seem to figure out a way
To keep the ones she loved from leaving
Little drunk, a little numb
Couldn't sleep without the hum of taxi cabs
To drown what she was feeling

But she could dance, dance, dance
Even when it's raining
When the sky was falling down
Yeah, she could dance, dance, dance
With no music playing
Like nobody's watching now
She could dance
She could dance
She could dance
She could dance

Couple records come and gone
Never thought it'd take this long
Sometimes I wonder who the hell I'm fooling
Got no trophies on the shelf
Record deal went straight to hell
I swear to God I don't know what I'm doing

But she can dance, dance, dance
Even when it's raining
When the sky is falling down
Yeah, she can dance, dance, dance
With no music playing
Like nobody's watching now
Yeah, she can dance
She can dance
Oh, she can dance
She can dance (When the sky is falling down)
Yeah, she can dance
