it's gonna pull you from the dance
shift your weight out of there
fast asleep in a room somewhere
you nearly lost your name in there
everybody knows
when you dance too slow
you're all alone, on your own
just play the sequence in your head
embrace the fact you're someone else
everybody knows
when you dance too slow
no one ever comes and says hello
everybody knows
when you dance too slow
you're all alone, on your own
calling your name from across the room
stealing the words, everything went boom
this reception it doesn't come in clear
you just can't make the connection, dear
everybody knows
when you dance too slow
no one ever comes and says hello
everybody knows
when you dance too slow
you're all alone, on your own
