Standing underneath a cloud of decades-old dust
A dimly-lit club filled with people just like us
And once the music starts to play and everyone gets up
You ask me not to leave your side
You don't know who to trust
And if it wasn't for the look in your blue eyes
Illuminated by the spinning disco lights
And if it wasn't for the distraction of people slithering by
Maybe you'd see how good it is
To be alive
A couple drinks, your eyes light up, you hear your favorite song
You say you're gonna dance, a quick goodbye and then you're gone
A minute later, I'm outside, again I'm all alone
Walking up the sidewalk looking for a way back home
And if it wasn't for the look in your blue eyes
Illuminated by the spinning disco lights
And if it wasn't for the distraction of people slithering by
Maybe you'd see how good it is
To be alive
And maybe in a while, I'll run across you on the street
And you can fill me in on everything you did last week
How your drug-addicted girlfriend took you back on bended knee
And she won't let you talk to me
La la la la
I didn't know you very long
La la la la
But I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
La la la la
I didn't know you very long
La la la la
But I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
La la la la
I didn't know you very long
La la la la
But I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
La la la la
I didn't know you very long
La la la la
But I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
