Story Behind The Song

I had a longtime girlfriend and the two of us had a roller coaster-type relationship. Even with all the bad times, I wouldn't have had it any other way. The phrase "dance tonight" is essentially a metaphor for us forgetting the past and living in the present.

Song Description

"Dance Tonight" is about a relationship that has been through it's share of ups and downs, but has endured. Both parties involved understand the flaws of the union, but choose that it's all worth it for the love they share.

Lyrics

With after what went wrong it's never seemed so right
Look at where we are
Whoever thought we'd come this far
In the midst of all the clouds of doubt, you and I have watched the sun roll out
It's so bright, you know it's so bright

Sometimes these things go wrong
The only thing we can do is push on

Come on babe, we gonna dance tonight
We gonna shine like fireflies tonight, so come on
We gonna dance tonight
Put your hand in mine and baby you will see, love
That this was destined to be love
So come on, we gonna dance tonight

With all them forces that tried to drag us apart
It's a miracle to see
You standing here in front of me
Yeah I know we got work to do, but I believe that we can make it through
So come on, we gotta hold on

Sometimes these things go wrong
The last thing we should do is move on

Come on babe, we gonna dance tonight
We gonna shine like fireflies tonight, so come on
We gonna dance tonight
Put your hand in mine and baby you will see love
That this was destined to be love
So come on, we gonna dance tonight

We gonna dance until the morning sun
Ain't gonna stop until that feelings gone
Cuz baby I know, I know you got to be the one
You got to be the one

Come on babe, we gonna dance tonight
We gonna shine like fireflies tonight, so come on
We gonna dance tonight
Put your hand in mine and baby you will see, love
That this was destined to be love
So come on, we gonna dance tonight
