Dancing as if my grandfather wasn’t a priest.

In my dreams, we were playing beer pong.
I don't know who was keeping score.
People were singing along to songs.
I had too many drinks and that’s for sure.

There was a celebration going on.

I didn’t know if this was for real.
My hang-up and my fears were all gone.
I knew that I liked the way that made me feel.

Dancing as if my grandfather wasn’t a priest.

Singing like no one was listening to me.
I never felt anything so wild and at ease.
The new me, was relaxed and free.

Now I’m sober I remember it all.

We both agreed to meet in that bar.
You had to hold me so I didn’t fall.
Pretending to be strangers not who we are.

Dancing as if my grandfather wasn’t a priest.
Singing like no one was listening to me
I never felt anything so wild and at ease.
And that new me, was relaxed and free.

It’s funny how that all came to be.

But it seemed to be what we needed.
To revive the love you had for me.
Not simply to hear I love you repeated.
