lyrics

(a coat check ticket tears)
(ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

I told the mirror I'm okay
My lipstick didn't buy the line
So I put my worry in the coat check tray
And left my heartbreak there behind
(ticket forty-nine)

Fake a little shimmer till it sticks
Borrow rhythm from the room
(from the room, the room)
Every little heartbeat needs a fix
Here it comes, boom, boom

I'ma dance until it's true (until it's true)
Dance until it's true
Spin the hurt right off my shoes
I'ma dance until it's true (yes I do)
Dance until it's true
Dance until it's true
(true, true, ooh-ooh)

The DJ played my cure at one
By two I half-believed the song
By three the sad girl I'd become
Could not recall what she got wrong
(what wrong? what wrong?)

I'ma dance until it's true (until it's true)
Dance until it's true
Spin the hurt right off my shoes
I'ma dance until it's true (yes I do)
Dance until it's true
Dance until it's true

One — I'm fine
Two — I'm free
Three — the lights believe in me
(work, work, work)
(strings swell like sunrise)

I'ma dance until it's true (until it's TRUE!)
Dance until it's true
Spin the hurt right off my shoes
I'ma dance until it's true
Dance until it's true

Ticket forty-nine, keep the coat
(I don't need the armor anymore)
(ooh-ooh...)
