"We Danced Anyway"

The summer air was heavy and sweet
You and I on a crowded street; there was music everywhere.
In a happy little foreign town
Where the stars hung upside down, a half a world away--far, far away.

I remember you were laughing. We were so in love, we were so in love.
And the band played songs that we had never heard, but we danced anyway.
We never understood the words, we just say oh la la la la la la la.
And we danced anyway.

They say you can't go back, well, baby, I don't believe that--come along with me. Come on and dance with me.
Maybe if I hold you close, baby we could just let go of these things that tie us down.
We'll come back around.
Do you remember? We were laughing. We were so in love, we were so in love.
And the band played songs that we had never heard, but we danced anyway. We never understood the words, we just sang, oh--la la la la la la la la la, oh...and we danced anyway.

These are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs. It's been going through my head for the past half hour.

I just finished packing, and all of my things are sitting in my car patiently waiting for transfer to Clear Creek--which will happen tomorrow evening. I can hardly believe this is finally happening.

I lived here with my aunt Nancy for a year and half. I did a lot of growing here. Learned new dances to tunes I'd never heard before. Now those tunes are familiar, and Clear Creek as all the new ones.

Well. I like dancing, so I think I'll learn them quickly.
