Last Chance To Dance

[Verse 1]
You leaned your head
On the EXIT sign glow
Laughed at the band
Playing too slow
I watched your dress
Drag dust from the floor
The DJ called
For “one dance more”
[Chorus]
Last chance to dance
And I just stood there breathing
Hands in my pockets
Heart on the ceiling
You turned in circles
Searching through the crowd for a sign
Last chance to dance
And I let it pass you by
[Verse 2]
You checked your phone
Then the old clock above
I heard my name
Caught in the hum
I saw your shoes
By the door like a dare
Silver on wood
Then they weren’t there
[Chorus]
Last chance to dance
And I just stood there freezing
Feet made of anger
Lungs made of pleading
You traced a question
Slowly in the air with your eyes
Last chance to dance
And I watched the moment die
[Bridge]
Now every slow song
Sounds like sirens
Every empty room
Wears your perfume
I spin alone
With my own silence (oh)
Counting the beats
Between me and you
[Chorus]
Last chance to dance
Keeps echoing
Repeating
Ghost of a waltz
On a floor that’s receding
You’re in the doorway
Again in my mind every night
Last chance to dance
And I fade into the light
