Dance in a Straight Line Lyrics

You dare me to dance
You offer your hand
So I hold onto you
We walk to the floor
But I'm not so sure
That I want, that I choose

Now that you have me here
And I, who you hold so dear
Be careful with me
'Cause time can be such a tease
And love can be who you leave behind
So let's dance in a straight line

We glide to the left
Dare we forget how fragile we are
We lean to the right
But nothing's as bright
As an aging star

Now that you have me here
And I, who you hold so dear
Be careful with me
'Cause time can be such a tease
And love can be who you leave behind
Oh let's dance in a straight line

Someone cuts in
I have to pretend
That you'll never step away
Oh I can't love you more
But I'm not so sure
It's enough to have my way

Now that you have me here
And I, who you hold so dear
Be careful with me
'Cause time can be such a tease
And love can be who you leave behind
So let's dance in a straight line

How could you leave me here
And I, who you hold so dear
Be careful with me
'Cause time can be such a tease
And love can be who you leave behind
So let's dance in a straight line

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
