Last Dance Lyrics

Could it be the fate of alphabetical

And astronomical odds?

These consecutive letters that put us together

Every morning since last fall

Been watching your locker across the hall

For a nod or a smile every once in a while

It's the last dance, but so many people

My last chance, I need to let you know

Need to find you, remind you, I've been sitting behind you

It's the last dance, but so many people

At last glance, it's hay, you're the needle

And I can't even see you at all

Behind the encyclopedias

Through the cafeteria crowd

Getting detention to get your attention

Your yearbook finally made its way down

I signed it "I love you"

But I left my name out

Hoping you'd see it and know it was me

It's the last dance, but so many people

My last chance, I need to let you know

Need to find you, remind you, I've been sitting behind you

It's the last dance, but so many people

At last glance, it's hay, you're the needle

And I can't even see you at all

I never cared for your popularity

Just your wit and sincerity

Now, there's no more pretending, the melody's ending

It's now or never, no dropping the ball

No more watching your locker across the hall

For that nod or a smile every once in a while

It's the last dance, but so many people

My last chance, I need to let you know

Need to find you, remind you, I've been sitting behind you

It's the last dance, but so many people

At last glance, it's hay, you're the needle

And I can't even see you at all

Every chorus, an endless barrage

Of memories, like a movie montage

I run to the wall and climb up the bleachers

To get above all the students and teachers

It's the last dance, but so many people

One last glance, to see from this steeple

But I can't even see you at all
