Dancing Your Memories Away
Dancing Away Heartbreak: Joanna Field's Emotive Symphony
Lyrics
It's Friday night
Friday night symbolizes a time for social activities and relaxation.
You must be alone
Suggests the person addressed is likely feeling lonely or isolated.
'Cause that's the only time
Implies the person only reaches out during lonely times.
You'd ever phone
Highlights a pattern of communication during moments of solitude.
But if you drop by
Open invitation for the person to visit.
Don't be surprised
Warns not to be surprised by the absence of the speaker.
'Cause darling
Term of endearment used by the speaker.
I won't be there tonight
Confirms the speaker's unavailability on this particular night.
I'm dancing your memory away
Expresses the speaker's intention to overcome memories through dance.
In the arms of a stranger
Describes dancing with someone new to replace memories.
For now I'm okay
Assures temporary emotional stability.
My heart's out of danger
Claims the heart is no longer at risk or vulnerable.
Tonight while I'm waltzing
Highlights the activity of waltzing in the context of the song.
As the band softly plays
References a band playing music during the waltzing.
I'm getting by, one song at a time
Describes coping with memories one song at a time.
Dancing your memory away
Reiterates the theme of dancing away memories.
Once (Once)
Repetition emphasizing the frequency of being deceived.
Twice (Twice)
Reaffirms the recurrence of deception.
Tell me how many times
Asks for a quantification of deception in the past.
Was I a fool for your lying eyes?
Questions the speaker's past gullibility regarding lies.
But I won't
Declares a refusal to be deceived further.
Be your fool anymore
Clarifies the speaker's decision not to be fooled again.
At least not
Specifies the context of the decision while dancing.
While I'm out on the floor
