I remember a small crowded room
And I remember concrete floors
Nervous voices and their squeaking shoes
Bouncing off the metal doors

I remember when the lights went off
And pushing forward toward the stage
It seemed weird to feel so alone
In such a crowded place

It’s just the same up here
The stage has its own wants and fears
Just one thing quiets me
The sweat from your body
So dance
Just dance

We were sweaty, shirtless, screaming skin
We were singing ourselves hoarse
We moved together just like waves and waves of birds
To a sound that rattled all our hearts at once

It’s just the same up here
The stage has its own wants and fears
Just one thing quiets me
The sweat from your body
So dance
Just dance

I remember as we left the room
The bodies and the warmth
Dissipating in the winter air
As we passed through the doors
