This Is What We Dance For

[Verse 1]

My brain's been misbehaving, anxiety's fucking crazy

And my heart's been palpitating keeping me up every night

I need a distraction, maybe if I move my body

It will start a chain reaction, hope it helps me feel alright

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, I'm about to disappear

Ooh, where it's dark, but it's light in here, ha

[Chorus]

Oh, I hate what I see outside

Can the rhythm cover my eyes?

I'm a little depressed and you're a little bit torn

I just wanna de-stress here on the dance floor

Need the beat just to keep me alive

DJ, please take me out of my mind

I'm a little depressed and you're a little bit torn

Wanna decompress here on the dance floor

[Post-Chorus]

Baby, this is what we dance for

[Verse 2]

I'm seein' all these faces that are all from different places

That are looking for safe spaces that'll help 'em feel all right

We all got our reasons, baby, dancing so we don't go crazy

Tell me, what are you escaping? Baby, uh

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, I'm about to disappear (Disappear)

Ooh, where it's dark, but it's light in here

[Chorus]

Oh, I hate what I see outside

Can the rhythm cover my eyes?

I'm a little depressed and you're a little bit torn (Oh)

I just wanna de-stress here on the dance floor (Woah)

Need the beat just to keep me alive (Keep me alive)

DJ, please take me out of my mind

I'm a little depressed and you're a little bit torn

Wanna decompress here on the dance floor

[Post-Chorus]

Baby, this is what we dance for

This is what (Oh)

This is what

This is what we dance for

This is what (Oh)

This is what

This is what we dance for

[Bridge]

In the lights

You look like you've never seen pain

Can you help me feel the same?

Baby, this is what we dance for (Oh)

[Chorus]

Oh, I hate what I see outside

Can the rhythm cover my eyes?

I'm a little depressed and you're a little bit torn

I just wanna de-stress here on the dance floor (Woah)

Need the beat just to keep me alive (Beat)

DJ, please take me out of my mind

I'm a little depressed and you're a little bit torn (Beat)

Wanna decompress here on the dance floor

[Post-Chorus]

Baby, this is what we dance for
