I push the door open, the music is loud
I see you first in the middle of the crowd
Her hand's on your arm, she whispers a phrase
I look for a wall where I can ease my gaze
I stand by the speakers and nod to the beat
I fold my arms tight and I tap my feet
But the beat goes wrong when she calls your name
And I've got no reason to feel the flame
Your hand finds her shoulder when the line starts to move
She looks back at you with nothing to prove
I've got no name to wear, no card to play
So I just stand still and smile anyway
Your hand finds her shoulder when the line starts to move
She looks back at you with nothing to prove
I don't even get the right to be the fool
So I laugh at the joke and I play it cool
I stand by the speakers and nod to the beat
I fold my arms tight and I tap my feet
But the beat goes wrong when she calls your name
And I've got no reason to feel the flame
Your hand finds her shoulder when the line starts to move
She looks back at you with nothing to prove
I've got no name to wear, no card to play
So I just stand still and smile anyway
Your hand finds her shoulder when the line starts to move
She looks back at you with nothing to prove
I don't even get the right to be the fool
So I laugh at the joke and I play it cool
