I saw you in the corner, at the party last night
You were talking to your friends, bathed in the light
I almost walked up, but then I turned away
'Cause I've been down this road, and I didn't wanna stay
But you caught my eye when you laughed out loud
And I felt something shift in the crowd
You're different, I can tell, you're not the same
Maybe this time, we're playing a brand-new game
But I'm not the girl who chases after dreams
I keep my feet on the ground, or so it seems
But every time you glance my way
I wonder what you'd say if I stayed
But maybe, just maybe, I'll take a chance
And let you pull me into your dance
We ran into each other, out on the street
You smiled like you knew, like this was meant to be
I laughed it off, but inside I knew
There's something in the way that you see right through
But I've built walls that stand too high
And I don't believe in that "perfect guy"
Still, when I see you, I feel the spark
Could it be this time, I'll follow my heart?
But I'm not the girl who chases after dreams
I keep my feet on the ground, or so it seems
But every time you glance my way
I wonder what you'd say if I stayed
But maybe, just maybe, I'll take a chance
And let you pull me into your dance
I'm done with running, done with hiding
Maybe we've been waiting for this timing
You make me laugh when the world's a mess
And I've been holding back, I must confess
But now I'm ready, I think I'm sure
So what do you say-are you ready for more?
'Cause I'm not the girl who chases after dreams
But I'm letting go of the in-betweens
Now every time you glance my way
I know exactly what I'd say if I stayed
So baby, let's take that crazy chance
And let me pull you into this dance
We ran into each other, out on the street
