Standing in the doorway of my empty childhood room
Wearing a shirt I´ve had since I was seventeen
I can see her curly hair and posters on the wall
And when I check the mirror, I see her in me

Always late and always loud
Couldn´t seem to figure out a way
To be enough for them to notice
Second choice and second best
Couldn´t say the things she meant
Or find the missing pieces that were broken

But she could dance, dance, dance
Even when it´s raining
When the sky was falling down
Yeah, she could dance, dance, dance
With no music playing
Like nobody´s watching now
She could dance
She could dance

I´ve seen bathrooms bigger than my old fourth floor apartment

Where I lived the year that I dropped out of school
Seven dollar coffees and the romance of the city
Where you think you won´t get hurt until you do

Always tall and always proud
Couldn´t seem to figure out a way
To keep the ones she loved from leaving
Little drunk, a little numb
Couldn´t sleep without the hum of taxi cabs
To drown what she was feeling

But she could dance, dance, dance
Even when it´s raining
When the sky was falling down
Yeah, she could dance, dance, dance
With no music playing
Like nobody´s watching now

She could dance
She could dance
She could dance
She could dance

Couple records come and gone
Never thought it´d take this long
Sometimes I wonder who the hell I´m foolin´
Got no trophies on the shelf
Record deal went straight to hell
I swear to God I don´t know what I´m doing

But she can dance, dance, dance
Even when it´s raining
When the sky is falling down
Yeah, she can dance, dance, dance
With no music playing
Like nobody´s watching now

Yeah, she can dance
She can dance
Oh, she can dance
She can dance (When the sky was falling down)
Yeah, she can dance
