We slipped through the back where the lock gave way
Fake names stitched in, ready to stray
Saturday night was laughing loud
Whiskey floating through the crowd
You tipped your hat, I took your hand
Like two outlaws with one last stand
But the jukebox began to echo down the hall
Like something we weren't ready for at all
The light erased the edge of us
My shadow disappeared in yours
I couldn't tell where you were
Ending or what was mine anymore
I never danced with you out in the light
Only where the Moon made shadows feel like right
It wasn't a dance, it was my heart pretending
That we'd find a world where we'd never see the ending
Everybody danced like nothing changed
We moved too slow for the old refrain
Your forehead resting against my own
Like you'd always known I'd be your home
The light erased the edge of us
My shadow disappeared in yours
I couldn't tell where you were
Ending or what was mine anymore
I never danced with you out in the light
Only where the Moon made shadows feel like right
It wasn't a dance, it was my heart pretending
That we'd find a world where we'd never see the ending
Morning found me at the counter, hat brim soaked with yesterday
There'd been no dance, no crowded floor
All the twirls were just a whiskey dream, you'd left long before
Yeah, the jukebox never played that song
I never danced with you out in the light
Only where the Moon made shadows feel like right
It wasn't a dance, it was my heart pretending
That we'd find a world where we'd never see the ending
