Carpe Night As Well (So Dance)

Last night you said, “I didn’t live life. Life lived me.”
Silly, that’s because you ignored the tapping of your feet,
And in your times of trouble, you meekly called on god,
And while your soul was searching, you were missing what you got.
.
And you say your glass is half gone, and the world’s all too much.
Don’t you see the ice cubes swimming and dancing in your cup?
Don’t look up “carpe diem” - if you don’t know, there’s no time.
Just take a sip and smile, and feel the dance down inside, alright?
.
Don’t, don’t worry if you step on my toes
Because I know how this dance goes.
.
Better find someone to laugh with as the moon slowly falls
Before the big joke reloads and laughs at you all.
You may as well dance and giggle your own way
So your voice and your groove never become a cliche, no no.
.
Don’t, don’t you worry if you step on my toes
Because I know how this dance goes.
.
How many times have you heard “you should live like you’re dying,”
But how many people do you know who are really trying?
And how many whispers say, “be careful, don’t take risks.”
Well I guess if you ain’t moving, you ain’t never gonna slip, no no.
.
But are you really happy with yourself today?
And where you gonna be when you see we cannot stay?
You may as well be dancing until the morning puts you away.
You may as well be laughing, and you may as well play, while you can
.
Because life is too short, yeah I say life is too short for carpe diem.
.
We need the night as well, we need the night as well,
We need the night as well, we need the night as well,
Better find someone to dance with, and grab her hips so tight,
And burn up like the stars who are laughing for the night.
And as the world darkens, everything’s gonna be alright,
So you may as well be laughing and dancing through the night, alright.
.
Where you gonna be when you see we need the night?
