Are We Gonna Dance
Dance Into Love's Embrace
Lyrics
This place is world class side of the road
This place is top-notch despite being located on the side of the road.
Little hole in the wall, kinda honky tonk
It's a small, intimate establishment, reminiscent of a classic honky-tonk.
Got them old swingin doors, saw dust on the floor
The venue has swinging doors and sawdust on the floor, typical of traditional country bars.
Ain't a whole lot more you can really want
There isn't much more one could desire in a setting like this.
Got an old vintage jukebox full of solid country gold
There's an old jukebox filled with classic country music.
And baby I just filled it up, with all the quarters it'll hold
The singer has just loaded it with coins to play the music.
Are we gonna dance
The singer questions whether they will dance.
Are we gonna just stand here
Asking if they'll just stand around without taking action.
Are you gonna grab ahold of me,
Wondering if the person will engage physically.
or just keep holding that cold beer
Or if they'll continue holding onto a drink without participating.
we can talk about it all night long
Suggesting they could discuss it extensively.
but I sure don't want to waste this song
But expressing a reluctance to waste the opportunity presented by the song.
are we gonna dance
Reiterating the question of whether they'll dance.
are we gonna just stand here
Asking if they'll continue standing still.
we could do a couple shots
Suggesting the possibility of taking shots and playing a game involving a cherry stem.
maybe play that little game
A playful reference to a game involving knotting a cherry stem using the mouth.
where you try to tie a knot in the cherry stem
Implies a preference for dancing intimately instead.
but I'd rather see ya out there
Expresses the desire to see the person dancing together.
loving up against me
Emphasizes closeness and affection while dancing.
giving that hardwood floor a spin
Imagining spinning on the dance floor with the person.
I've been starring at your lips
The singer has been focusing on the other person's lips.
Like I know where they belong
Suggesting a feeling of familiarity or belonging.
And baby you're looking back at me
Observing that the person is reciprocating the gaze.
Like what are you waiting on
Asking why the person is hesitating or delaying.
Are we gonna dance
Repeating the question about dancing.
Are we gonna just stand here
Asking if they'll remain inactive.
Are you gonna grab ahold of me,
Reiterating the desire for physical interaction.
Or just keep holding that cold beer
Or if they'll persist in holding their drink.
We can talk about it all night long
Again suggesting they could discuss it extensively.
But I sure don't want to waste this song
But emphasizing the reluctance to waste the moment.
Are we gonna dance
Repeating the question about dancing.
Are we gonna just stand here
Reiterating the query about standing still.
got the mirror ball goin round
Noticing the presence of a mirrored ball.
and you got me about to come unwound
Feeling emotionally stirred or excited.
this place is starting to fill up
Observing the place filling up with people.
but it feels like it's just us
Despite the crowd, the singer feels a sense of intimacy with the person.
Are we gonna dance
Reiterating the question about dancing.
Are we gonna just stand here
Repeating the query about standing still.
Are you gonna grab ahold of me,
Reiterating the desire for physical contact.
Or just keep holding that cold beer
Or if they'll continue holding their drink.
We can talk about it all night long
Suggesting they could discuss it extensively.
But I sure don't want to waste this song
But expressing a reluctance to waste the song's potential.
