[Verse 1] One shoe on the carpet, one on the tile You count every doorway, you measure the mile The room on the left has a handclap beat The room on the right has a kick in its feet You keep saying, “Wait, let me work this out” While the good part starts without a doubt [Pre-Chorus] You don’t need a map for the first small step You don’t need to know what comes next [Chorus] You can’t dance in the doorway Can’t catch a tune from the hall Pick a room, pick a rhythm Give it your weight, give it all You can’t dance in the doorway No half-step answers the call Pick a room, pick a rhythm Get in it—get in it—all [Verse 2] Your jacket’s still hanging on the back of the chair You’ve got both hands busy comparing the air But somebody laughs and the tables turn And the floor gives a little where the floorboards burn Quit saving your best move for the perfect cue The song’s already making a place for you [Pre-Chorus] You don’t need a map for the first small step You don’t need to know what comes next [Chorus] You can’t dance in the doorway Can’t catch a tune from the hall Pick a room, pick a rhythm Give it your weight, give it all You can’t dance in the doorway No half-step answers the call Pick a room, pick a rhythm Get in it—get in it—all [Bridge] Left foot, right foot, lose the count Let the bright room pull you out No more checking every sign Cross the line and call it mine [Chorus] You can’t dance in the doorway Can’t catch a tune from the hall Pick a room, pick a rhythm Give it your weight, give it all You can’t dance in the doorway No half-step answers the call Pick a room, pick a rhythm Get in it—get in it—all [Outro] Pick a room, pick a rhythm Get in it—get in it—all
