You Should've Seen Me Dance

You should’ve seen me dance

Back when the jukebox worked

Boots on sticky floorboards

Making pain look like a perk

You should’ve seen me dance

Like I owned the whole damn room

With a half-spilled drink in one hand

And a heart that still had room

No plans, no chance

But damn, I had a stance

You should’ve seen me dance

I wasn’t smooth, I wasn’t clean

But I meant every move

Laughing through the heartbreak

With nothing left to prove

You should’ve seen me dance

Like the world was mine to burn

Every twirl a quiet prayer

For a night I wouldn’t unlearn

No script, no plan

Just a beat and a glance

You should’ve seen me dance

Now the jukebox just takes coins

And never plays my song

But some nights I still remember

How it felt to not belong

You should’ve seen me dance

When the light was low and red

I was wild, I was broken

But I wasn’t done just yet

One more song, one more chance

I’d risk it, circumstance

You should’ve seen me dance
