Standalone single (July 12, 2024 · Beformer), not on I or any LP tracklist. Same summer-2024 relational lane as chasing the sunset and CHEW ON THIS: love measured in waiting, windows, and phones.
It’s an apartment tableau, traffic flowing past, eyes scanning for your car, a homemade dinner for two that’s really for one. The chorus is joy and ache at once, dancing all night long since I met ya but wanting to pull ya through the phone, with Kool and the Gang standing in as surrogate dance partner.
The plea underneath the party is the whole song: don’t leave me dancing alone, stacked at the outro until loneliness and motion become the same thing.
Written, performed, and mixed by Luke Francis Walton.
Lyrics
Hmm hmm hmm Don't leave me dancing alone Looking out my apartment window Seeing the city traffic flowing by, yeah I am looking out for your car Wonder where you are My homemade dinner for two Here waiting for you Waiting for you I'm waiting for you Ooo ah ooo ah ooo ah Ever since I met ya I've been dancing all night long Ooo ah ooo ah ooo ah Oh hearing your voice I wanna pull ya through the phone I keep dancing alone Don't leave me dancing alone Ooo I keep dancing alone Don't leave me dancing alone Hmm hmm hmm Playing the playlist that you sent me Thinking of every memory we will make A good time to celebrate, c'mon Kool and the Gang keeping me company But I wish that you were next to me Next to me Ooo I wish that you were dancing next to me Waiting for the weekend Feeling butterflies Yeah come through Cause I can hardly wait another minute Without you Ooo ah ooo ah ooo ah Ever since I met ya I've been dancing all night long Ooo ah ooo ah ooo ah Oh hearing your voice I wanna pull ya through the phone oh Ooo ah ooo ah ooo ah Ever since I met ya I've been dancing all night long (Don't leave me dancing alone) Ooo ah ooo ah ooo ah Oh hearing your voice I wanna pull ya through the phone (Don't leave me dancing alone) Dancing dancing Dancing dancing dancing Dancing alone Don't leave me Don't leave me Don't leave me dancing alone Dancing dancing Dancing dancing dancing Dancing alone I'm dancing alone Don't leave me dancing alone
