Verse 1 There’s a neon buzzin’ over corner of Main Band’s playin’ loud but I still hear your name Boots on the floor, I’m spinnin’ just fine But every slow song still pulls at my mind I’m laughin’ too hard at things that ain’t funny Sippin’ cheap whiskey like it’s top-shelf honey They think I moved on, I let ‘em believe But you’re still the ghost hangin’ off of me ⸻ Pre-Chorus 1 I can fake a smile in a crowded room But I can’t outrun what I still feel for you ⸻ Chorus So I’m dancin’ around goodbye Like it ain’t already said and done Spinnin’ circles in the neon light Tryin’ to outrun what we were Yeah I’m singin’ every word too loud Like it don’t still hit me now I make it look alright But I’m just dancin’ around goodbye ⸻ Verse 2 Your truck drove past, yeah I saw it tonight Same old route, same yellow light I turned my head like I didn’t care But my heart damn near followed you there Your friends still ask how I’ve been doin’ I say “real good,” keep the truth from showin’ ‘Cause if I let one crack come through This whole damn night’d fall back to you ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 (different feel, more revealing) I got my freedom, got my space But it don’t feel like a win these days ⸻ Chorus So I’m dancin’ around goodbye Like it ain’t already said and done Spinnin’ circles in the neon light Tryin’ to outrun what we were Yeah I’m singin’ every word too loud Like it don’t still hit me now I make it look alright But I’m just dancin’ around goodbye ⸻ Bridge (the truth finally slips out) If I slow down, I’ll feel it break Every step just a move I fake Ain’t no rhythm in this heart tonight Just a beat tryin’ to survive If I stop, I might call your phone If I think, I’ll be missin’ home So I keep on movin’ like I’m alright But I ain’t alright ⸻ Final Chorus (lift + emotional hit) Yeah I’m dancin’ around goodbye Like I didn’t watch you walk away Like I didn’t lose you overnight Like I’m stronger than I say Yeah I’m holdin’ on to every lie That I’m finally doin’ fine I make it look alright But I’m just dancin’ around goodbye ⸻ Outro Band plays on, lights go low They don’t see what I don’t show Yeah I’m still right here tonight Just dancin’ around goodbye
