words & music by Nate Shelkey
You took the night off
So we could talk
I picked out a place
On the way
I ordered us drinks
To give us time to think
But you’re staring at the tip of your shoes
But your shoes can’t tell you what to do
If this were a movie
Or a soap opera show
You’d be sure to break down in the end
And all the time that we spent
Over the past five years
Would all make sense in a flash
They’re playing our song again
It’s the Salvation Army Band
So dance with me
Everyone makes rules
About the things you can’t do
But there’s not enough time to be fair
There’s mischievous things in the air
It’s an itch you can’t scratch
Peek though the door with a crack
It’s that promise you just couldn’t keep
You’re a hypocrite now just like me
Uncomfortable shoes to be (in)
They’re playing our song again
It’s the Salvation Army Band
So dance with me
But who’s to say what’s right
At the end of the night
It’s like magic if nobody knew
Because it’s never too late or too soon
So don’t be afraid
You know kissing’s okay
It’s like learning to tie your shoes
It’s hard to forget, once you do
They’re playing our song again
It’s the Salvation Army Band
So dance with me
And though it might seem strange
Well you know what they say
You just have to learn from mistakes
They’re playing our song again
It’s the Salvation Army Band
So dance with me
