Curtains closed, all day and night
TV flickers, the only light
Food untouched, the coffee cold,
Music plays, I’m spinning slow
I feel the beat, my eyes are closed
Bare feet on a hardwood floor
No one sees, there’s no applause,
This show’s for me, no curtain calls

I just want to dance the world away
With every move I can feel it fade
One more song, one last play
I just want to dance the world away
Keep the noise and agony at bay
One more song before I slip away

Pictures fade and colours bleed
I want so much, feels like a need
Eyes half-open, heart on hold
Past erased and future stalled
Dance not to feel but to forget
The overwhelm of old regret
Every step, a prayer, a plea
To wipe away what I have been

I just want to dance the world away
With every move I can feel it fade
One more song, one last play
I just want to dance the world away
Keep the noise and agony at bay
One more song before I slip away

If I stop, will I fall down?
Will the past drag me to the ground?
I’m not sure that I have healed enough
To face the weight that’s way too tough

I just want to dance the world away
With every move I can feel it fade
One more song, one last play
I just want to dance the world away
Keep the noise and agony at bay
One more song before I slip away
