MUNA - Dancing On The Wall Lyrics

MUNA Lyrics

"Dancing On The Wall"

We had plans on a Saturday night
I had visions dancing in my mind, but
You're so last minute with your new excuse
Do you care at all or do I just pretend you do?

Bought your favorite ice cream, left it in the backseat
Just another sweet thing you let go bad
Go on, give me nothing, like to leave me wanting
Try to find an opening, but

You're the wall that I keep banging my head against
I'm always saying, "This time, I'll get through"
I end up with a bruise as a consequence
I know how to hurt myself on you
So what? I'm calling you up again
I'm always saying, "This time, I'll get through"
I end up all alone as a consequence
I'm dancing on the wall when I'm with you

When I'm with you, I'm on the wall
I'm dancing on the wall when I'm with you
When I'm with you, I'm on the wall
I'm dancing on the wall when I'm with you

You said, "Sorry, I'll be there by 9"
I should've told you not to waste my time, but
You're so magnetic, it's like, what's the use?
I would wait forever as long as I'm waiting for you

I can feel you so close, no more than a stone's throw
Looking for a window, but

You're the wall that I keep banging my head against
I'm always saying, "This time, I'll get through"
I end up with a bruise as a consequence
I know how to hurt myself on you
So what? I'm calling you up again
I'm always saying, "This time, I'll get through"
I end up all alone as a consequence
I'm dancing on the wall when I'm with you

When I'm with you, I'm on the wall
I'm dancing on the wall and I see

Lovers dancing in the light
Shadows dance across my eyes
Watching as the second hand
Turns and turns around again
Now I'm working up a sweat
Spinning in my party dress
Stroke of midnight at the ball
I realize I'm on the wall
Realize I'm on the wall

You're the wall that I keep banging my head against
I'm always saying, "This time, I'll get through"
I end up with a bruise as a consequence
I know how to hurt myself on you
So what? I'm calling you up again
I'm always saying, "This time, I'll get through"
I end up all alone as a consequence
I'm dancing on the wall when I'm with you

When I'm with you, I'm on the wall
I'm dancing on the wall when I'm with you
When I'm with you, I'm on the wall
I'm dancing on the wall when I'm with you
