Last Slow Dance at the Gym

[Verse 1]

They’re taking down the streamers

Cardboard stars in a paper bag

Your corsage on the bleachers

Little petals in my jacket snag

End of every slow song

But you’re still holding my hand

Summer’s waiting in the driveway

But I can barely stand

[Chorus]

This is our last slow dance at the gym

While they’re sweeping up the floor

Lights getting dim

Spin me ‘round once more

Before they close the door

Let me memorize the way you’re breathing in

On this last slow dance at the gym (oh yeah)

[Verse 2]

Coach is stacking up the folding chairs

Janitor is humming something sweet

Our friends already rushing down the stairs

Trading secrets in the parking heat

But we’re counting every second

Like the clock might change its mind

Swaying in our Sunday clothes

Leaving all the years behind

[Chorus]

This is our last slow dance at the gym

While they’re sweeping up the floor

Lights getting dim

Spin me ‘round once more

Before they close the door

Let me memorize the way you’re breathing in

On this last slow dance at the gym

[Bridge]

Someday we’ll drive past this old brick wall

Say

“They used to have the dances in that hall”

Will you still remember

How my heart beat out of time? (woah)

‘Cause I’ll hear that old band playing

Every time I close my eyes

[Chorus]

This is our last slow dance at the gym

While they’re stacking all the signs

Hopes growing thin

Spin me ‘round once more

Before we cross that door

Let me carry how your head felt on my chin

From this last slow dance at the gym (ooh)

Our last slow dance at the gym
