“Wrong Step, Right People” lyrics

That's my kind of floor
I miss the turn, you turn beside me
Now I don't miss out anymore

I've held enough coats for a lifetime
Know every wall beside the bar
Tonight I leave my drink on a table
And let my feet get me this far
My left goes right, my right goes nowhere
I laugh before somebody can
You catch my eye and copy both feet
Then offer me your open hand

I thought you laughed because I missed it
Then you missed it right on time

Wrong step, right people
That's my kind of floor
I miss the turn, you turn beside me
Now I don't miss out anymore

Wrong step, right people
That's my kind of floor

Wrong step
Right people

Your friend comes in and learns the stumble
Her friend makes room for someone new
Eleven of us pause together
And make the missed step something new
The DJ lets the bass keep rolling
We find a little shape to share
For once I'm not outside the picture
I'm in it, laughing with the rest

I spent so long checking who was watching
I never saw who would dance with me
You didn't fix my way of moving
You made some room for it to be

Wrong step, right people

Wrong step
Right people

That's my kind of floor
I miss the turn, you turn beside me

I miss the turn, you turn beside me

We miss the turn and stay together
Now I'm the one who asks for more

Wrong step
Right people

Wrong step
Right people

Wrong step, right people
Keep a place beside me
