[Verse 1]
I know it’s a bad idea
But how can I help myself?
[?]
I thought a few drinks, they might help
But it’s been a while my dear
Didn’t want the life’s card dealt
I’m still holding back these tears
While my friends are somewhere else

[Pre-Chorus]
I pictured this year a little bit different
When it hit February
I step in the bar, it hit me so hard, how can it be this heavy?
Every song reminds you’re gone
And I feel the lump form in my throat
‘Cause I’m here alonе

[Chorus]
Just dancin’ with my eyes closed
‘Causе everywhere I look, I still see you
Time is movin’ so slow
And I don’t know what else that I can do
So I’ll keep dancin’ with my

[Post-Chorus]
Eye-ye-eye-eyes
Eye-ye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-ye-eye-eyes
Oh, I keep dancin’ with my

[Verse 2]
Delusion is here again
And I think you’ll come home soon
A bird [?] brings me right back in
And it’s only me that’s in this room
I guess I could just pretend
The colours are more than blue
But I lost more than my friend
I can’t help but missing you

[Pre-Chorus]
I pictured this month a little bit different
No one is ever ready
When it unfolds, you’re getting a hole, how can it be this heavy
Everything changes, nothing’s the same
Except the truth is now you’re gone
And life just goes on

[Chorus]
So I’m dancin’ with my eyes closed
‘Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
Time is movin’ so slow
And I don’t know what else that I can do
So I’ll keep dancin’ with my

[Post-Chorus]
Eye-ye-eye-eyes
Eye-ye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-ye-eye-eyes
Oh, I’ll keep dancin’ with my
Eye-ye-eye-eyes
Eye-ye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-ye-eye-eyes
Oh, I’ll keep dancin’ with my

[Bridge]
They’re shutting the bar, they’re cleaning the floors
And everyone is already home
But I’m on my own

[Chorus]
Just dancin’ with my eyes closed
‘Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
Time is movin’ so slow
And I don’t know what else that I can do
So I keep dancin’ with my

[Post-Chorus]
Eye-ye-eye-eyes
Eye-ye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-ye-eye-eyes
Oh, I keep dancin’ with my
Eye-ye-eye-eyes
Eye-ye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-ye-eye-eyes
Oh, I keep dancin’ with my
