Mixed Signals on the Dancefloor

[Verse 1]
We were laughing by the speakers
You were holding onto my sleeve
All that leaning on my shoulder
Made it easy to believe
Little glances in the strobe light
Got me thinking this is real
Every touch felt like an answer
To a question I could feel
[Pre-Chorus]
So I took one step closer
Heart racing through my chest
Thought I read every moment
Thought I knew what came next
[Chorus]
Mixed signals on the dancefloor
You pull me in
Then push me out
Thought you wanted something more
Till you shut me down
Shut me down out loud
Now I’m standing here
Can’t move
Everyone just turns and looks
How could I be so sure of you
When every sign was just a different hook
[Verse 2]
You were tracing little circles
On my wrist with your thumb
Saying you were glad I came here
Like I might be the one
So I took a tiny chance yeah
Just a sentence
Just your name
You laughed it off like it was nothing
Left me burning in the frame
[Pre-Chorus]
Did I dream up all that warmth
Did I draw in all the lines
Did I build a world between us
From the way your hand hit mine
[Chorus]
Mixed signals on the dancefloor
You pull me in
Then push me out
Thought you wanted something more
Till you shut me down
Shut me down out loud
Now I’m standing here
Can’t move
Everyone just turns and looks
How could I be so sure of you
When every sign was just a different hook
[Bridge]
Were you scared
Were you playing
Were you kind
Were you cruel
Was I brave or just foolish
For thinking you felt it too
Now the room keeps spinning
But it’s not from the drink
It’s from every little moment
That’s not what I thought it was
I think
[Chorus]
Mixed signals on the dancefloor
You pull me in
Then push me out
Thought you wanted something more
Till you shut me down
Shut me down out loud (oh)
Now I’m trying to feel my heart
Over all this empty noise
Guess I have to learn the hard way
That your signs were never really my choice
