Slow Dance

Always raising you up

But I’m cast down, down

Just trying to act like you wanted me to

Months go by, wondering why

Wish I could rise and fall when you wanted me to

I know what I said

I know what I did

I'm clearly out of my mind

I thought you wanted me too

Said all the wrong words

In all the wrong ways

I’ll disappear like a fog

If you want me to

We do a slow dance

No chance

You step back as I’m moving in to you

Stuck in a slow dance

No chance to go any faster, disaster

Used to the haze, lost in your ways

You wouldn’t dim your light even if I wanted you to

Left on the side, hardly alive

You couldn’t make me hate you even if you wanted to

Wherever you’ve gone

No matter how far

I don’t care if it hurts

I just want you back home

Whatever we mend

However we grow

All the damage is done

Could you want me too?

We do a slow dance

No chance

You step back as I’m moving in to you

Stuck in a slow dance

No chance to go any faster, disaster

Set it on fire, cut all the wires

Dance in the road at night if you wanted me to

(Wanted by the sea, rising under me)

Hold you up higher, at your desire

Split all the clouds apart if you wanted me to

(Nothing left to say, watch you fade away)

Wherever you’ve gone

No matter how far

I don’t care if it hurts

I just want you back home
