i dreamt you were disgusted when you found out i still love you
disappointment in your eyes, a halo glowed above you
as you bit your lower lip, and the picture froze right there
and i woke with my throat burning, stomach churning, gasping for air
the town is sleepy mostly but it comes to life on the weekends
i'd like to come to life too, i miss having friends
so i wander through the night, try any place that's open
you can try to run away from your life across the atlantic ocean
but americans ruin the dance floor every time
we don't know how to dance but we keep trying
maybe on our best days, we sort of look all right
but the people here are beautiful tonight
i live in fear of meeting someone who looks a bit like you
but with everyone else i meet i know more or less what to do
small talk for a while, warm and vacant smile
then a slow drift into silence like a guilty man on trial
it isn't gonna be easy, but someday i will recover
i sit and watch the dancers, watch the strangers become lovers
and the lovers become strangers at the changing of the song
we were as beautiful as them, i think, but i could be wrong
cause americans ruin the dance floor every time
we don't know how to dance but we keep trying
maybe on our best days, we sort of look all right
but the people here are beautiful tonight
