Hardwood Floors from Lost Verses by Joe Nolan

Lyrics to Joe Nolan's song "Hardwood Floors" from the 2022 album Lost Verses:

I'm living in the city
Don't know if it will last
I'm flirting with the future
And still dating the past

You looked so pretty when I saw you last
I heard somebody tell me you were back

Well I've missed your melody
Ever since you've been gone
I'm still blind to all the mysteries
Writing these songs

But it's too late for singing now, I lost you long ago
Still by a thread I'll be hanging out around your back door

And it's too late for dancing, I can't twirl you no more
You won't be dressing up for anything
With my heart on your hardwood floor

Yea we are older, but I still feel young
As I watch you leave my shoulder to lean on another one

I'm living in the city
Don't know if it will last
It's hard to flirt with the future
And still date the past
