lyrics

If the music stops.

He’s been waiting downstairs
Clean shirt on, sipping beer
She’s in the bathroom in tears
She’s gonna tell him something he won’t hear
He turns to look at the clock, we’ll be late what’s keeping her
Why’s the bathroom door locked.
She shouts through that she doesn’t care.
Another night, another fight.

If the music stops keep on dancing
If the music stops keep on dancing

To him it’s so long ago
To her it seems like yesterday
He slept with someone and so can she believe a single word he’d say
The words came fast, but didn’t last.

If you listen hard you’ll hear the rhythm in your head

She took advise from a friend
Sometimes its best to pack your bags and walk
Than live with lies and pretend, maybe he can only talk the talk
So take your cue and waltz on through
