lyrics

“Masquerade” written by Chad Siwik

I don’t really know
anything about you
but I’m willing to go
anywhere that you do, baby

Step to the beat as we dance to forget
I don’t wanna regret what we went through, baby
Just to save face we take part in the game
but I’d much rather go into hiding right now...

(I told myself I wasn’t gonna do this)

I walk into the ball and down the steps
Everyone stares at me from behind their mask

There’s just something, something about you
I let up slack but I don’t wanna lose you
I go to the opposite side
People between us pretend they don’t mind
Safe while I’m still in the crowd
so I try to fit in and I try not to stand out...

Step to the beat as we dance to forget
I don’t wanna regret what we went through, baby
Just to save face we take part in the game
but I’d much rather go into hiding right now...

I told myself I wasn’t gonna do this,
told myself I wanted to go through it with you, baby
Please don’t hate me
I don’t wanna go, yeah!

It feels insane
when you speak my name
I want much more
Dancin’ on the floor
Cooperate
Give your body over
Insinuate
Say it with your eyes

You’re a mystery, of that I’m sure
We dance so fast (indecipherable)

Spin and jump
Sweat for your life
Turn and come face to face with you

Spin and jump
Sweat for your life
Turn and come face to face with you

You wanna live forever
You wanna live forever
I am here to show you how

Step to the beat as we dance to forget
I don’t wanna regret what we went through, baby
Just to save face we take part in the game
but I’d much rather go into hiding right now

Step to the beat as we dance to forget
I don’t wanna regret what we went through, baby
Just to save face we take part in the game
but I’d much rather go into hiding right now...

I told myself I wasn’t gonna do this,
told myself I wanted to go through it with you, baby
Come and save me
I don’t wanna go, yeah!
