Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come dance on me
Dance on me
Come dance on me
No one should have to go through that
You should be kinder to yourself
Drinking at home
You and your girls dance in the mirror
Now you've gone
And for the first time
In a long time
You're outside your head
Dance on me baby
Push your weight on my body
Lay your head on my shoulder
And feel the bass of my heart
When your friend sees you and doesn't stop it
When the DJ plays your song
When the floor is packed
And your girls are around
And the drinks are free
Girl you own this town
Come on and
Dance on me baby
Push your weight on my body
Lay your head on my shoulder
And feel the bass of my heart
Makeup smears from your sweat
Not your tears tonight
So it let it run down
Let it run down
He just sent you a text
But you blocked his line
You're moving on now
Moving on now
And for the first time
In a long time
Your outside your head
You're on a night ride
On a good vibe
You just want to dance
Dance on me baby
Push your weight on my body
Lay your head on my shoulder
And feel the bass of my heart
Dance on me baby (dance on me baby)
Push your weight om my body
Lay your head on my shoulder (head on my shoulder)
And feel the bass of my heart
Ohhh
Dance on me baby
Ohhh
Dance on me baby
