Dancing While We’re Gone

“Dancing While We’re Gone”

Verse 1

We wake up in the same old bed

Say “good morning” like a script we read

Your hand is close but miles away

We touch like strangers trying to behave

Pre-Chorus

We learned the steps, we learned the lines

Smile on cue, pretend we’re fine

The room is full but feels so bare

Two ghosts breathing the same air

Chorus

We’re dancing while we’re gone

Spinning hearts that feel nothing

Music loud, but love is numb

Still we move like we belong

We’re dancing while we’re gone

Holding on to something dead

Feet still moving, souls have fled

Yeah, we’re dancing… while we’re gone

Verse 2

We post the proof, we play the part

Matching outfits, fractured hearts

Everyone thinks we’re still alive

But love flatlined a thousand nights

Pre-Chorus

Your eyes don’t look for mine anymore

Just reflections in the mirror floor

We keep time, we miss the beat

Repeating pain with perfect feet

Chorus

We’re dancing while we’re gone

Spinning hearts that feel nothing

Music loud, but love is numb

Still we move like we belong

We’re dancing while we’re gone

Holding on to something dead

Feet still moving, souls have fled

Yeah, we’re dancing… while we’re gone

Bridge

If this is love, why do I feel erased?

If this is us, why do I feel replaced?

I’m tired of pretending I’m okay

In a dance where no one wants to stay

Final Chorus

We’re dancing while we’re gone

Applause for a broken show

Curtain falls but still we pose

Everyone thinks we’re strong

We’re dancing while we’re gone

Till the music finally ends

Maybe that’s where truth begins

When we stop dancing… while we’re gone
