I Don't Dance
Sunrise Avenue Lyrics

I don't wanna grow up
I don't want to mature or age.

I don't wanna see sex and the city
I don't want to watch a popular TV show that deals with adult themes.

Lust for a minute
I don't want to have a brief sexual desire.

I don't wanna do that
I don't want to engage in that action or behavior.

I don't wanna let go on the floor tonight
I don't want to free myself and dance tonight.

And I can't hear nothing but beats and sounds
All I can hear are the musical beats and sounds.

That don't feel good inside
They don't make me feel good internally.

I got jeans too tight It's all too loud
My jeans are too tight, and the music is too loud.

My feet can't hear the orders from my mind
My physical body and instincts are not in harmony with my thoughts or desires.

I don't dance cause tonight you love somebody
I won't dance because you are in love with someone else tonight.

Somebody new
Someone different than me.

I don't dance cause the moves don't want my body
I won't dance since the dance moves aren't fitting my style or personality.

I'll learn to hate them too
I will end up disliking the dance moves as well.

Now you dance to our songs
You are currently dancing to the music we both shared together.

I need them too
I also want to dance to those songs.

I don't dance cause tonight you love somebody new
I won't dance because tonight you are in love with someone new.

I don't need the feedback
I don't require any assessment or commentary.

I know that I'm stuck with the past
I acknowledge that I'm trapped in my previous experiences and memories.

That this might last
That there is a possibility that my predicament will continue.

I don't need a restart
I don't need a new beginning or fresh start.

I don't wanna re-oil myself tonight
I don't want to re-energize myself or get ready for anything tonight.

I know it's a little bit sad and strange
I recognize that my situation may seem melancholy and peculiar.

I stay alone in the shade
I stay by myself in the dark or obscured area.

I don't wanna dance I feel betrayed
I don't want to dance because I feel deceived or let down by someone close to me.

Now the crowd grows wild I'm such a mess
Now the crowd is going crazy, and I'm feeling disorganized, distressed, or confused.

And I can't escape this emptiness
I cannot avoid or evade this sense of hollowness or incompleteness.
