I Should've Danced More

I Should've Danced More es la canción que da comienzo al nuevo álbum que la cantante y compositora estadounidense Joan Osborne lanza en este 2023 y que lleva por título Nobody Owns You.

Un tema con una melodía hipnótica que nos habla de los arrepentimientos que sentimos al darnos cuenta de que no hemos disfrutado de la vida como deberíamos haberlo hecho y de la oportunidad de corregirlo e intentarlo de nuevo.

I should've danced more
Left those things on the shelves at the store
I should've danced more
Spun around like matador

I should've danced more
What on earth is this body for
I should've danced more
Given myself to this beat I adore

I should've laughed
I should've laughed
Between the tears that feel on the floor
I should've flown
I should've flown
I should've danced more
I should've danced more

I should've lovеd more
Stopped trying to evеn the score
I should've loved more
Shown you what was at the core

I should've loved more
Kept every oath I swore
I should've loved more
It was worth all the pain that I bore

I should've laughed
I should've laughed
Between the tears that feel on the floor
I should've flown
I should've flown
Left my burdens at the kitchen door
I should've laughed
I should've laughed
So many years, but I want more
I should've flown
I should've flown
I should've danced more
I should've danced more

It's not too late
But I can't wait
I'm still above the ground
It's not too late
But I can't wait
These things can still be found

I should've laughed
I should've laughed
Between the tears that feel on the floor
I should've flown
I should've flown
Left my burdens at the kitchen door
I should've laughed
I should've laughed
So many years, but I want more
I should've flown
I should've flown
I should've danced more
I should've danced more

I should've danced more

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
If you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway

I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
