We dance for laughter.

We dance for tears. We dance for madness .We dance for fears .We dance for screams. We are the dancers. We create the dreams.-Albert Einstein 


I can hear my aunt downstairs shouting for us to get up and I realise why. I manage to get Nani in the shower and Liyah downstairs for breakfast. Zayn was in the shower to while I got my stuff together. I showered after Nani and Aaliyah after Zayn. We decided to pack our dance gear just in case Kenny wanted us to dance. Aaliyah had a black overall jumpsuit on with her initials on the left leg in gold. She had a white shirt inside and was wearing her favourite Nike shoes. Zayn was wearing a simple black top and blue jeans and his watch. I decided to wear my grey crop top and army green jacket with matching grey tights and sneakers. I had my hair down. Of course Nani was wearing her signature blue jean shorts and her black and white NYC fishnet top and her bandana as a hair band. "Hey guys quick picture before you leave?" asks my aunt getting us into her selfie frame. "Everybody say Dance,"

"Dance!" we scream laughing. "Ok have a good days guys, love you," she says waving at us. While in the car Aaliyah had the her phone connected and Galway Girl starts playing. "Aye! Eddie!" I scream and we start singing along.

Aaliyah 

She played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

Nani

I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
She asked me what does it mean, the Gaelic ink on your arm?
Said it was one of my friend's songs, do you want to drink on?
She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
She got Arthur on the table with Johnny riding a shotgun
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance

Zayn

You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
With my pretty little Galway Girl
You're my pretty little Galway Girl

Malea

You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool
After dancing to Cèilidh singing to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sang so sweet
A capella in the bar using her feet for a beat
Oh, I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me

We all started yelling the chorus together. "Galway girl!" we shouted as reached a red light and she changed the song ."Oh I love this song!" screams Nani as she bops her head. 

Nani, Zayn, Malea

Laid up, got me thinkin', babe
Tell me if you with it 'cause I'm with it, babe
I haven't heard from you in a minute, babe
Just tell me what to do when I get it, babe
Gucci and PradaTrips to your crib in the middle of the night
I know that you miss me 'cause I put it down right
Damn, babe, I can put you on a flight
You know that a nigga like me can change your life
Oh, baby, everythin' you do is amazin'
Ain't nobody watchin', go crazy
I got what you need
Everybody think you shy but I know you a freak
Lil' baby (oh), everythin' you do is amazin' (yeah)
Ain't nobody watchin', go crazy (yeah)
I got what you need (yeah)
Everybody think you shy but I know you a freak
Lil' baby (yeah)
