Dance in the Doorway

[Verse 1]
One shoe on the carpet, one on the tile
You count every doorway, you measure the mile
The room on the left has a handclap beat
The room on the right has a kick in its feet
You keep saying, “Wait, let me work this out”
While the good part starts without a doubt

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t need a map for the first small step
You don’t need to know what comes next

[Chorus]
You can’t dance in the doorway
Can’t catch a tune from the hall
Pick a room, pick a rhythm
Give it your weight, give it all
You can’t dance in the doorway
No half-step answers the call
Pick a room, pick a rhythm
Get in it—get in it—all

[Verse 2]
Your jacket’s still hanging on the back of the chair
You’ve got both hands busy comparing the air
But somebody laughs and the tables turn
And the floor gives a little where the floorboards burn
Quit saving your best move for the perfect cue
The song’s already making a place for you

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t need a map for the first small step
You don’t need to know what comes next

[Chorus]
You can’t dance in the doorway
Can’t catch a tune from the hall
Pick a room, pick a rhythm
Give it your weight, give it all
You can’t dance in the doorway
No half-step answers the call
Pick a room, pick a rhythm
Get in it—get in it—all

[Bridge]
Left foot, right foot, lose the count
Let the bright room pull you out
No more checking every sign
Cross the line and call it mine

[Chorus]
You can’t dance in the doorway
Can’t catch a tune from the hall
Pick a room, pick a rhythm
Give it your weight, give it all
You can’t dance in the doorway
No half-step answers the call
Pick a room, pick a rhythm
Get in it—get in it—all

[Outro]
Pick a room, pick a rhythm
Get in it—get in it—all
