I never learned the steps to the Lindy Hop or East Coast Swing
I was too busy fighting with these new fangled machine guns
I never got the chance to dance with you my love
But all I wanna do is waltz with you and dip you low
Lowering an empty box
Box Step leaves my legs all tangled, and I'd fall down
Down the plane crashed to the sea
See the way you tell me that you
love me when we're fighting in the
way we could have danced, way we should have danced,
way we could have had it all
I never learned to cope with the emptiness, the six-foot space,
Where I buried my heart and found distraction in its place
I never got the chance to teach you how to dance
and whisper in your ear
All I wanted was to grow old and have some kids with you
You and me, my wife and I--
I laid flowers from my wedding against a stone that tells a lie
Lie to me so I don't miss what we never
See the way you tell me that you
love me when we're fighting in the
way we could have danced, way we should have danced,
way we could have had it all
You never learned the steps to the Lindy Hop or East Coast swing
At least I found the right partner, to hold my hand and everything
I never got the chance to dance with you my love.
I saw you in the news today, you looked so brave
(Brave is what you were to me)
Wish I had the guts to tell you, but now my body shakes
(I shook when you last kissed me)
See the way you tell me that you
love me when we're fighting in the
way we could have danced.
