This Room This Song
By Iwasnearlythere
[Verse 1]
My worn-out shoes scrape through the night
A buzzing bulb throws crooked light
The speaker crackles by the door
I feel the bass shake through the floor
The shadows drift across the wall
I hear your laughter through it all
A little out of time I sway and dance the empty hours away
[Chorus]
When I'm singing, yeah, I'm singing my heart out
Voice cracks and all, with nobody else about
Feet tapping in the dust as the world slips away
The bass hums like an old friend with nothing much to say
[Verse 2]
My arms move loose, I miss the beat
But still I dance on tired feet
I see the laughter on your face
I hear you laugh when I lose pace
And I'm dancing, yeah, I'm dancing when nobody can see
My shoes hit the floor, keeping time just for me
Each spin is a prayer, I don't know how to say
[Chorus]
This pulsing rhythm is all that can show me the way
The clock ticks on, the hours fly
The city sighs as cars pass by
My knees ache, but I choose to stay
And let the music have its way
[Bridge]
I'm singing, oh, I'm singing louder than before
My voice flows through the dust and out beneath the door
[outro]
And I'm dancing, yeah, I'm dancing without fear
Step by step through the chaos till the beat is all I hear
