[English]

Dancing by night

Do your eyes search the floor for me?

Dancing by night

Do your eyes search the light for me?

I'm sorry if I always seem to slip away

I disappear when you get close

I know I always seem to make the same mistakes

But I'm hoping that won't matter anymore

I know my hands are in the air

It doesn't mean my heart ain't broken no more

I know I've pushed your love away

But I won't make that mistake anymore

Dancing by night

Do your eyes search the floor for me?

Perfect by now

Does the crowd start to feel lonely?

I'm sorry if I always seem to slip away

My heart veins always seem to close, mm

A love, their arms too strong, it makes the same mistakes

But I'm hoping that won't happen anymore

I know my hands are in the air

It doesn't mean my heart ain't broken no more

I know I've pushed your love away

But I won't make that mistake anymore

I know my hands are in the air

It doesn't mean my heart ain't broken no more, yeah

I know I've pushed your love away

But I won't make that mistake anymore

Dancing

Dancing by night

I'll keep dancing, just dancing

By night

Come see me dance

Keep on dancing

See me dancing

Ah-ah, ah
