Songs That Said It All

  • Just another typical Saturday night
    Hanging out with the boys
    Nothing new cutting through those neon lights
    Always the same old noise
    Just about the time I was looking to leave
    I caught that look in your eye
    You were dancing with your friends when I cut in
    And the DJ got it right

    And we sang, just skipping through the words that we didn't know
    We danced, in the middle of the room like we were all alone
    And I couldn't say what you were doing to me
    So I left it up to the melody
    We sang, sang along to the songs that said it all

    Well the lights came on after that last song
    But we weren't ready to go
    Putting off good night and hoping you might
    Let me drive you home
    Foot on the gas, hearts beating fast
    To the sound of the radio
    Well it's almost like they had us in mind
    Every line, every single note

    And we sang, just skipping through the words that we didn't know
    We danced, and the way you were moving was turning me on
    And I couldn't say what you were doing to me
    So I left it up to the melody
    We sang, sang along to the songs that said it all

    We sang, just skipping through the words that we didn't know
    We danced, in the middle of the night just letting go
    I couldn't say what you were doing to me
    So I left it up to the melody
    We sang, sang along to the songs that said it all

    Yeah the songs that said it all
    The songs that said it all Writer/s: CHARLES KELLEY, COLTON SWON, DAVE HAYWOOD, ZACH SWON
