I Still Don't Dance Lyrics

Gray Joy

Grow Apart

Lyrics to I Still Don't Dance
You make time and calculations, knowing when to smile
And how to shift your weight to hold a gaze
But do these actions fall in line with all of your
Contradicting thoughts? Depraved and violent paradox
Your unconscious observation, misogynist repose
Embedded long ago in wasted innocence
Her gaze meets yours, you smile; an unsettling facade
Dissembling a plan you calculated all along

Try that girl on for size
She looks so lonely in the light of this room
Try that girl on for size
Well aware she won't mean anything to you

From the apartment hallway to the balcony ledge
Half-heresy to wish the skin relieved
Of grime and dust set in
Floorboards writhe under each step

Try that girl on for size
She looks so lonely in the light of this room
Try that girl on for size
Well-aware she won't mean anything and
After all, they're just as empty as you tell yourself
They are so what's the harm in filling voids?
And all in all, you'll waste away before the night
Has reached its end, so shift your weight again

When the sunlight creeps into the bedroom
You'll have grown cold
And no warmth from the body there could ever spare you
From the icy hold on your heart
You invited loneliness in
Its gaze held by a smile and a shift

Try that girl on for size
She looks so lonely in the light of this room
Try that girl on for size
Well-aware she won't mean anything (Woo!)

Try that girl on for size
She looks so lonely in the light of this room
Try that girl on for size
Well-aware she won't mean anything and
After all, they're just as empty as you tell yourself
They are so what's the harm in filling voids?
And all in all, you'll waste away before the night
Has reached its end, so shift your weight again
