bouncer Lyrics

I talked about leaving town and I did it

But maybe I'd be better off without quitting

Anything when it gets hard to handle

Chasing sunsets just for the thrill of it

But what's the point, never see the other side of it

Is it leaving or is it freedom and what's the difference

Maybe we don't have to explain so much

Maybe not everything's a sign

I keep listening to what's missing, tell me why

I can't wait to go waltzing where nobody's turned away

Because a dancer's god is a bouncer and mine is a rainy day

I tried condensing lifetimes into minutes

Maybe I'd be better off if I didn't

What if I wasn't so scared to settle

I'd read the book on life if it existed

Hell, I'd even settle for an early edition

It took a few decades but I finally get poetry

Is it punk enough to believe in love

In a homestead kind of way

Am I crying on the riding mower again

I can't wait to go two-stepping where nobody's turned away

Because a dancer's god is a bouncer and mine is a rainy day

We fled east from the suburbs shouting "no rules" all the way to the coast

But I think there was more to it than we could know

So I can't wait to go dancing where nobody's turned away

Because a dancer's god is a bouncer and mine is a rainy day

A dancer's god is a bouncer, let me in I'm not afraid

A dancer's god is a bouncer and mine is a rainy day
