This Is What We Dance For

My brain's been misbehaving, anxiety's fucking crazy
And my heart's been palpitating
Keeping me up every night
I need a distraction, maybe if I move my body
It will start a chain reaction, hope it helps me feel alright, yeah

Oh-woah
I'm about to disappear
Oh-woah
Where it's dark, but it's light in here

Oh, I hate what I see outside
Can the rhythm cover my eyes?
I'm a little depressed and you're a little bit torn
I just wanna de-stress here on the dance floor
Need the beat just to keep me alive
DJ, please take me out of my mind
I'm a little depressed and you're a little bit torn
Wanna decompress here on the dance floor

Baby, this is what we dance for

Seeing all these faces that are all from different places
That are looking for safe spaces that'll help 'em feel alright, yeah
We all got our reasons, baby
Dancing so we don't go crazy
Tell me, what are you escaping? Baby, uh

Oh-woah
I'm about to disappear (disappear)
Oh-woah
Where it's dark, but it's light in here

Oh, I hate what I see outside
Can the rhythm cover my eyes?
I'm a little depressed and you're a little bit torn (oh)
I just wanna de-stress here on the dance floor (woah)
Need the beat just to keep me alive (keep me alive)
DJ, please take me out of my mind
I'm a little depressed and you're a little bit torn
Wanna decompress here on the dance floor

Baby, this is what we dance for
This is what (oh)
This is what
This is what we dance for
This is what (oh)
This is what
This is what we dance for

In the lights, you look like you've never seen pain
Can you help me feel the same?
Baby, this is what we dance for (oh)

Oh, I hate what I see outside
Can the rhythm cover my eyes?
I'm a little depressed and you're a little bit torn (oh)
I just wanna de-stress here on the dance floor (woah)
Need the beat just to keep me alive
DJ, please take me out of my mind
I'm a little depressed and you're a little bit torn
Wanna decompress here on the dance floor

Baby, this is what we dance for
