Dance With Me
Shockley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How we're using "I'm doing fine"
But life's too short for all those silly games
And I'm just not the one who plays
But darling you have caught my eye
Amidst the noise you are my lullaby
And you're worth the risk of failing change
So I've just got one thing to say
This moment's meant for us
Girl, can't you see
Hurry now before the moment flees
Will you dance with me
Now I forgot to ask your name
So sing it to me
While we groove and sway
Honey you're my favorite getaway
And I hope you feel the same
Will you dance with me
This moment's meant for us
Girl, can't you see
Hurry now before the moment flees
So will you dance with me
Throw your cares away
And take my hand
Forget your yesterday
Hurry darling we are running late
So will you dance with me
Now I know you've heard all the stories
And I'm not one for fairy tales
But I know you are the one for me
So just say you will, oh
Will you dance with me
This moment's meant for us
Girl, can't you see
Hurry now before the moment flees
Oh baby will you dance with me (with me, with me)
Throw your cares away
And take my hand
Forget your yesterday
Hurry darling we are running late
Oh baby will you dance with me
(Dance)

My words will only waste your time
I acknowledge that my speech may seem meaningless, it won't add any value to your life
How we're using "I'm doing fine"
We are pretending that everything is alright when that's far from the truth
But life's too short for all those silly games
Playing foolish games is not worth it because our time on earth is limited
And I'm just not the one who plays
I'd rather not bother with games
But darling you have caught my eye
I can't get enough of you, I find myself enchanted by you
Amidst the noise you are my lullaby
I find peace when I am with you, you are my escape from the chaos around me
And you're worth the risk of failing change
I am willing to take a chance on you, even if it means risking failure
So I've just got one thing to say
I have something important to ask you
Will you dance with me
Would you like to spend this moment moving along with me on this music
This moment's meant for us
This is a perfect time for us to be together, this moment calls for us
Girl, can't you see
Is it not clear to you that we belong together
Hurry now before the moment flees
We need to act fast because this moment will soon be gone
Now I forgot to ask your name
I regret that I haven't asked your name yet
So sing it to me
Hence, could you please tell me your name and sing it out while we dance
While we groove and sway
As we continue to move our bodies to the rhythm of the music
Honey you're my favorite getaway
You're the one I escape to in order to find happiness and peace
And I hope you feel the same
I hope that we both feel the same way about each other
Throw your cares away
Forget everything that troubles you
And take my hand
Grab my hand and let's enjoy this moment together
Forget your yesterday
Don't think about the past, focus on the moment that we have right now
Hurry darling we are running late
We need to hurry up because we are already behind schedule
Now I know you've heard all the stories
I understand that you may have your doubts based on things you've heard about me
And I'm not one for fairy tales
I am not trying to be unrealistic or delusional
But I know you are the one for me
I am sure that you are my soulmate
So just say you will, oh
Please say that you will join me, dance with me and let's enjoy this moment together
Oh baby will you dance with me (with me, with me)
Oh my love, will you join me in dancing (with me, with me)
Dance
Let's move our bodies to the beat
