I'm crossing the Potomac after we talked last night
We both got what we wanted, just not wanted at this time
The weight is on my shoulders 'cause I just wanna hear your voice
We're both now getting older, too old to just be background noise
Money doesn't go as far as you think
You don't need a label for goodbye to sting
We dance until we bleed

I couldn't buy you flowers while I was in the 9 to 5
You were my happy hour, but that feeling doesn't need a time
So let's get out of our breath and lie your head up on my chest
We're hiding under covers until we do it over again
Money doesn't go as far as you think
You don't need a label for goodbye to sting
We dance until we bleed
Dance until we bleed

I thought that I was so smart, smart enough to never care
Yeah, I put on a facade but didn't know that you were aware
I could go dance with strangers but none of them can catch my eye
While crossing the Potomac I think about you every time
