Slow Dance Around It

Bryan Lanning


Was it the red wine stain on your sundress?
Was it 'cause the power went out and the kitchen's still a mess?
Was it the last two bills? I swear I'll get 'em paid
And tell me, what's on your mind, let me take it away

When all the dust is settled and your heart is a wreck
We don't know what happened or what happens next
Take my hand if you wanna believe
There's a look in your eyes trying to tell me
The world's on fire, could be going south
We can talk in circles, give me the runaround
Looking for heaven and girl, I found it
Why face the truth when we can
Slow dance around it?

Was it the late night texts I left on read?
Was it the things I said had us hanging by a thread?
Was it the empty bottles when I fell to rock bottom?
'Cause you know that's not me anymore
If it's broke let me fix it, if I'm wrong, I'll admit it
Before you walk out that door

When all the dust is settled and your heart is a wreck
We don't know what happened or what happens next
Take my hand if you wanna believe
There's a look in your eyes trying to tell me
The world's on fire, could be going south
We can talk in circles, give me the runaround
Looking for heaven and girl, I found it
Why face the truth when we can
Slow dance around it?
Slow dance around it

I can put on our favorite song
Lay your head on me, where you belong
I never said it was perfect but girl, I promise it's worth it

When all the dust is settled and your heart is a wreck
We don't know what happened or what happens next
Take my hand if you wanna believe
There's a look in your eyes trying to tell me
The world's on fire, could be going south
We can talk in circles, give me the runaround
Looking for heaven and girl, I found it
Why face the truth when we can
Slow dance around it?
Slow dance around it
