Do the 154

Hey you there, come on and dance with me
Come let free
Forget responsibility
Forget it all, forget me
Hey you there, come on and talk to me
Come see if you can keep up
Now I’m waiting for—
What am I waiting for?

I don’t get to forget you
No not this
There is no reset button that I can press
So go ahead explain, explain this mess
I don’t get to forget you
But I digress

Hey you there, come on and dance with me
Come see
Am I what you wanted?
Oh baby
Come on and dance with me
Hey you there, ya couldn’t keep up
Now you’re running scared
Running circles
You’re so unprepared
But didn’t you want this?

I don’t get to forget you
No not this
There is no reset button that I can press
So go ahead explain, explain this mess
I don’t get to forget you
But I digress

Hey you there, you’re not what I expected
Two left feet
And nothing else to mention
Oh baby, you couldn’t talk to me
Hey you there, couldn’t keep up
Now you’re running scared
About to walk out
I don’t even care
This isn’t us anymore

Hey you there
Hey you there
Ya couldn’t keep up
Now you’re running scared
No reset button
And you’re unprepared
For all you wanted
All you wanted
