Bangles

I didn’t want to leave the house
But I followed you
You left our table for the dance floor
I never knew
I sat there looking at the old barkeep
Such sad eyes
For no amount of beauty would he crack a smile
You can bet I’d dance if I could do it
I would glide on by
Keep my distance from the wall
You can bet I’d dance if I could do it
I would glide on by
I would sway and they would fall
I’ve changed my mind a million times
All morning long
I picked through bracelets and bangles
They all felt wrong
Is this whole city hung over?
How the sidewalk sticks
To the rubber beneath my toes
You can bet I’d dance if I could do it
I would glide on by
Keep my distance from the wall
You can bet I’d dance if I could do it
I would glide on by
I would sway and they would fall
