Close the door, you're crying on the floor
Fool the world for just a little longer
Put on a face
Manners and grace
Try not to let it show
And you do your dance
And you hide your eyes
Well
I was only going for a short walk
Didn't mean to stay away forever
Simple words and simple melodies
Photographs and candelabra dreams
Will-o'-the-wisp
Who stole the wish
Replay the film again
And you do your dance
And you hide your eyes
Yeah you do your dance
They won't see you crying
I was only going for a short walk
Didn't mean to stay away forever
I was only going for quick stroll
Never meant to close the door forever
I took a few steps in no direction
I started walking, I wasn't thinking
I took a few steps in no direction
I started walking, I wasn't thinking of you
I was only going for a short walk
Didn't mean to stay away forever
I was only going for quick stroll
Never meant to close the door forever
I was only going for a short walk
Didn't mean to stay away forever
