Carpe Night As Well (So Dance) Lyrics

Last night you said, "I didn't live life. Life lived me."

Silly, that's because you ignored the tapping of your feet

And in your times of trouble, you meekly called on god

And while your soul was searching, you were missing what you got, alright

And you say your glass is half gone, and the world's all too much

Don't you see the ice cubes swimming and dancing in your cup?

Don't look up "carpe diem"; if you don't know, there's no time

Just take a sip and smile, feel the dance down inside, alright?

Don't, don't worry if you step on my toes

Because I know how this dance goes

Better find someone to laugh with as the moon slowly falls

Before the big joke reloads and laughs at us all

You may as well dance and giggle your own way

So your voice and your groove never become a cliche, no, no

Don't, don't you worry if you step on my toes

Because I know how this dance goes

How many times have you heard, "you should live like you were dying"

But how many people do you know who are really trying?

Or how many prayers cast their lot with tomorrow?

Missing the point with a head full of sorrow

But are you really happy with yourself today?

And where you gonna be when you see we cannot stay?

You may as well be dancing until the morning puts you away

You may as well be laughing, and you may as well play while you can

'Cause life is too short

Yeah, I say life is too short for carpe diem

We need the night as well, we need the night as well

We need the night as well, we need the night as well

Better find someone to dance with, and grab their hips so tight

And burn up like the stars who are laughing for the night

And as the world darkens, everything's gonna be alright

So you may as well be laughing and dancing through the night, alright

Where you gonna be when you see we need the night?
