Dance

Folder: 
A Jar

If the music is playing

And we’re both swaying to the beat.

Why don’t we dance?



I hide like a child in the corner

Amongst the other lonely girls

Just waiting their turn



Your eyes are saying the wheels are turning.

I know you’re thinking, but you can’t even speak.



Thinking leads to hesitation,

Which fuels the ache inside my heart.

Feel the change in the steady beat,

And dance.



We can waltz it step by step

Exactly how it’s meant to be

Or hold me close and pretend that everyone’s gone

But I can’t tango against the wall

If we must, let’s fly into the stars.

And dance.



I’m not impatient, but I’ve been waiting

For you to come and take my hand.

We can waltz it step by step

Then let the tango have its chance.

Come free my heart from out the dark

And dance.
