From the recording Do Not Open

Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Friday night and the rain is coming down
We were gonna go out, gonna paint the town
But you kicked off your shoes in the hallway light
Said, “Let’s just stay right here tonight”
Two left feet and an old cassette
Pasta boiling over, haven’t noticed yet
You’re wearing my sweater with the coffee stain
Singing all the wrong words to a song again
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t need a fancy room
Don’t need a crowd, don’t need the moon
’Cause all I need is right here, darling
Spinning round with you
[Chorus]
We’re kitchen floor dancing
Barefoot on the tile
Swaying to the radio
For a little while
Who needs a ballroom?
Who needs a band?
I’ve got the whole world
Right here in my hands
We’re kitchen floor dancing
Oh, kitchen floor dancing
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Kitchen floor dancing
[Verse 2]
Smoke alarm’s going off, but we don’t care
Garlic bread burning and there’s flour in your hair
Neighbors banging on the ceiling below
You just turn it up louder, saying, “Let ’em know”
Met you in a coffee shop three years ago
Spilled my tea on your shoes, said, “Hello”
Now we got a little flat and a cat named June
And you still dance like the first night under the moon
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t need a fancy room
Don’t need a crowd, don’t need the moon
’Cause all I need is right here, darling
Spinning round with you
[Chorus]
We’re kitchen floor dancing
Barefoot on the tile
Swaying to the radio
For a little while
Who needs a ballroom?
Who needs a band?
I’ve got the whole world
Right here in my hands
We’re kitchen floor dancing
Oh, kitchen floor dancing
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Kitchen floor dancing
[Bridge]
And when we’re old and gray
And the music’s slow
I’ll still take your hand
When the radio plays low
Fifty years from now
In a different place
I’ll still be dancing
Just to see your face
[Final Chorus]
We’re kitchen floor dancing
Barefoot on the tile
Swaying to the radio
For a little while
Who needs a ballroom?
Who needs a band?
I’ve got the whole world
Right here in my hands
We’re kitchen floor dancing
Oh, kitchen floor dancing
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Kitchen floor dancing
Just you and me
Kitchen floor dancing
