The Sidekicks

Lyrics

in a city named for a man with some awful choices in life
it makes sense I met a couple dozen Christophers tonight
business boys backlit by a founding father bar-light
and I just don't feel like dancing without you
no I just don't feel like dancing without you
criticizing the jukebox and making fun of the dudes
no I just don't feel like dancing without you
but it's not like dancing could undo a time I had with you

undo
can't undo dances I had with you

I saw a black and yellow bird
on a black and yellow flower
I thought about Pittsburgh
I thought about you for an hour
how come I rarely let my nostalgia have power
and I just don't feel like dancing without you
no I just don't feel like dancing without you
making excuses like 'I forgot my wallet' or '...my shoes'
no I just don't feel like dancing without you
but it's not like dancing could undo a time I had with you
it's not like not dancing would make a memory more true

undo
can't undo dances I had with you

kept commenting 'it's crowded here, it's quite a heavy crowd'
mimosas tasted medical, chemicals felt like clouds
Kathy came and talked me down, calling me a clown
for faking my face as a frown, calling me a clown
so I juggled my nostalgia and I started to stilt around
