Lyrics:

I know it’s a bad idea
But how can I help myself
Been inside for most this year
And I thought a few drinks they might help

It’s been a while my dear
Dealing with the cards life dealt
I’m still holding back these tears
While my friends are somewhere else

I pictured this year a little bit different when it hit February
I step in the bar, it hit me so hard
Oh how can it be this heavy?
Every song reminds me you’re gone
And I feel the lump form in my throat
‘Coz I’m here alone

Just dancing with my eyes closed
‘Coz everywhere I look I still see you
Time is moving so slow
And I don’t know what else that I can do
So I’ll keep dancing with my eyes closed
So I’ll keep dancing with my

Delusion is here again
And I think you’ll come home soon
A word brings me right back in
Then it’s only me that’s in this room
I guess I could just pretend
The colours are more than blue
But I lost more than my friend
I can’t help but missing you

I pictured this month a little bit different no one is ever ready
And when it unfolds you get in a hole
Oh how can it be this heavy?
Everything changes, nothing’s the same
Except the truth is now you’re gone
And life just goes on

So I’m dancing with my eyes closed
‘Coz everywhere I look I still see you
Time is moving so slow
And I don’t know what else that I can do
So I’ll keep dancing with my eyes closed
So I’ll keep dancing with my eyes closed
Oh I’ll keep dancing with my

They’re shutting the bar
They’re cleaning the floor
And everyone is already home
But I’m on my own

Still dancing with my eyes closed
‘Coz everywhere I look I still see you
Time is moving so slow
And I don’t know what else that I can do
So I’ll keep dancing with my eyes closed
Oh I’ll keep dancing with my eyes closed
Oh I’ll keep dancing with my
