    I've been listening to too much dance music tonight :p. Read and review please :)

    ---

    I want you to take some time and dance with a stranger
    Open your heart and embrace the danger
    Ask them their name then put your mouth to good use
    We both know you want it so make no excuse
    Because to do nothing is still an action
    And in 19 years I'm beginning to catch on
    That what we don't do are our biggest regrets
    The opportunities we miss and the smiles we forget

    They were just two lovers caught in the headlights
    Yeah, cold days complimented by long nights
    'Cause everything's different from a midnight perspective
    It's times like these when you get more reflective

    "The night's still young so let's head home together”
    Is it just the alcohol talking or are you feeling better?
    I know everyone craves that little hint of attention
    Most people more than they'd ever mention
    So you promise each other it's just a one time thing
    And that everyone deserves to have a quick fling
    But it's not your fault if you meet on the dance floor
    And it never hurts to do it just once more

    They were just two lovers caught in the headlights
    Yeah, cold days complimented by long nights
    'Cause everything's different from a midnight perspective
    It's times like these when you get more reflective

    So lock eyes and forget your religion
    And swing your hips with record precision
    With your smile you made your decision
    Now every steps just another collision
    Your friends can't judge you if they don't find out
    And your parents won't be able to hear you shout
    So close your eyes and make the incision
    And wait 'till the morning to make your revisions
    Convince yourself that you feel contrition
    It's not your fault that you have this condition
    And remember: it's not a crime unless you get caught
    So give into the emotion 'cause it's all that you've got

    They were just two lovers caught in the headlights
    Yeah, cold days complimented by long nights
    'Cause everything's different from a midnight perspective
    It's times like these when you get more reflective

    Yeah they were just two lovers caught in the headlights
    Just two souls always trading back sound bytes
    'Cause everything's different from a midnight perspective
    It's times like these when you feel so defective

    Yeah...

    Wow that was pretty good. I love the rhyming, it doesn't feel forced at all and the whole piece flows perfectly. Great job :)
