The Wallflower Waltz
These may be hard times these days
But there's a way to break the fall
Let's go out and get ourselves some congregation
The night is young and I'm in full bloom here on this wall
I hear music, and it's playing my salvation.
Hey
Won't you take up my hand
Lift me off of my seat
Spin me onto that floor
Sweep me off of my feet
we may be breaking these shoes
But I'll be taking that chance
'Cause it's breaking my heart
Not to dance
yeah it's breaking my heart
Not to dance
{ humming }
We make our own good times these days
We rewrite our destinies
And that piano's playing a revelation
We're still young and there's no sense
Living half a life, half alive
Come on, pick yourself a bloom
In this bandhouse celebration
Hey
Won't you take up my hand
Lift me off of my seat
Spin me onto that floor
Sweep me off of my feet
Keep me waltzing in time
To the fleeting of chance
'Cause it's breaking my heart
Not to dance
Yeah, it's breaking my heart
Not to dance
[ bridge ]
{ humming }
Hey
Won't you take up my hand
Lift me off of my seat
Spin me onto that floor
Sweep me off of my feet
A bloom withers on a vine
Left alone, left to chance
And it's breaking my heart
Not to dance
Yeah, it's breaking my heart
Not to dance
