[Verse] Fresh faces light the hall new year begins anew Heart racing I see him smile what am I to do Butterflies are dancing chaos in my chest Tonight was meant to be ours but fate has other plans [Chorus] Welcome welcome to the dance where hope could rise or fall I was ready for romance but he's not mine at all Beside him stands another girl I missed my only chance It hurts to see him loving someone else welcome to the dance [Verse 2] I asked him once what's your favorite song he said it's ours My roommate warned me should have taken charge now I'm seeing stars Waiting on the sidelines isn't getting me far Now he's out of reach dancing beneath the mirrored bar [Chorus] Welcome welcome to the dance where hope could rise or fall I was ready for romance but he's not mine at all Beside him stands another girl I missed my only chance It hurts to see him loving someone else welcome to the dance [Bridge] Oh I can't rewind time no crying over spilled dreams Roommate's words hit hard now I see through broken seams Next time I won't hesitate won't let chances slip Gonna find my voice and shout before dreams start to dip [Chorus] Welcome welcome to the dance where hope could rise or fall I was ready for romance but he's not mine at all Beside him stands another girl I missed my only chance It hurts to see him loving someone else welcome to the dance
