Save the Last Dance for Chaos

Verse

Wax is melting on the tablecloth

Last plate cleared, the wine's gone soft

Your jacket's slung across your chair

Like you might still be lingering there

Waiter's hovering with the check

You're tracing circles on my neck

Saying this was fun while it lasted

Nothing here was built to last it

Pre-Chorus

So why's my heart still keeping time

With every clock we left behind

Is this the end or just a door

That opens up to something more

Chorus

Save the last dance for chaos

Spin me out before you go

One more twirl under bad light

Let the tears and laughter show

Save the last dance for chaos

Take my hand, don't let it drop

'Cause even goodbyes get glamorous

When we don't know how to stop

Verse

Candles gutter, waiters yawn

Somebody's playing our song wrong

You grab my wrist, we're up and out

Dancing loud with all this doubt

Your shoes are killing you, I can tell

Mine too, but who's counting hell

We're crashing into closing time

Making this ending feel like mine

Pre-Chorus

So why's my heart still keeping time

With every clock we left behind

Is this the end or just a door

That opens up to something more

Chorus

Save the last dance for chaos

Spin me out before you go

One more twirl under bad light

Let the tears and laughter show

Save the last dance for chaos

Take my hand, don't let it drop

'Cause even goodbyes get glamorous

When we don't know how to stop

Bridge

Maybe it's not really over

Maybe it's just intermission

Maybe your coat on my shoulder

Means you're still asking permission

Streetlights are catching your outline

Like the start of some new sign

So spin me once more, make it count

This isn't a fade, it's a bounce

Chorus

Save the last dance for chaos

Spin me out before you go

One more twirl under bad light

Let the tears and laughter show

Save the last dance for chaos

Take my hand, don't let it drop

'Cause even goodbyes get glamorous

When we don't know how to stop

When we don't know how to stop
