Hitsu - Dancing With A Stranger

Описание: Oh boy, where oh where do I begin with this one? (Don't worry, it was all just water of course)

The idea for this song had been sitting in my mind for awhile. It was my attempt at using the Royal Road chord progression to make a city pop song (how original) but over time it just became Royal Road + The Strokes. I found myself learning an incredible amount of musical knowledge while researching and working on this one, which is enough of a plus for me. Still, I'm quite proud of how this one turned out, as well as the video. Enjoy your experience while it lasts, I definitely did. Goodbye to the stranger who wished to love me just for a little while. Unfortunately, it was never anything else than that.

Written out of heartbreak, something I was hoping not to experience again yet I threw myself right into it. A glutton for punishment, as one would say. So this song was birthed out of being in a situation I put myself into, attempting to handle it and being completely unable to. What does it mean, to not be long-term anyways? I find myself still struggling to understand it.

Lyrics:

~Verse 1~

I never wanted to-
I never wanted to love you-
The way I do, no.

I just wanted to-
I just wanted to dance with ya-
Not for long?

This song
Was yours
From the start girl,
You stole my heart oh.

We were lost in a trance,
Oh baby you and me and our dance.
A funk lady and a goofy guy,
End the night with a gloomy goodbye.

What if we stayed-
What if we had stayed here?
Forever?

What if we spent
One more dance together?
For how long?

~Pre Chorus 1~

Oh my dear,
She's not here.
We're not done with the song yet.

Oh she's gone?
Headed home,
On her own.

I guess
We'll be fine
On our own.

~Chorus 1~

Stay-
Why can't you just
Stay?
What can I even
Say?
Please don't walk
Away.
Oh baby
Don't.
Baby, please don't
Go.
A little longer
More.

~Solo~

Nobody taught me to dance.
But I guess that's no excuse,
For lookin' like an ass.
I wish I was better for you.

~Verse 2~

It was one dance with you
But now I want ya for a lifetime too.
A dream buried deep inside,
I dug it up knowin' I'd cry.

I'd always wanted to-
I'd always wanted to love you,
The way I do.

I'd always meant to-
I'd always meant to stay with you.
Say "I do".

And I'm sorry that-
I'm so sorry that I can't.
Oh I couldn't do things right...

~Pre Chorus 2~

Oh I know,
That I slipped on the dancefloor with you.
One more try
I'll be fine.

Oh I guess
She's all gone
And I'm alone.

~Chorus 2~

Stay.
Why won't you just
Stay?
Please don't go that
Way.
Hope it's all
Okay.

I'm sorry that I said,
I'd love you for too long...
I didn't think you would stay...
Long enough for my song...

Sorry-
Sorry that I can't do it...
The way that you wanted to dance...
You wanted to hold my hands...
Just for a little while...
Just enough for us to smile...
Wanted to keep going strong...
Don't wanna say by to our song...

!Outro~

This dance was better with you my love.

But I know that you can't stay.

That's okay.

'Cause I'll wait.

For some day...

Sad to see you gone...

Sad to be back on my own...

That's the way it's gotta go...

Was I wrong for havin' hope?

I'm gonna wait right here

For nothing at all, my dear.

I mumble because I'm mad

Or do I crumble because I'm sad?
