i don't want to go to the house of gold
cause that would be too heavy for me
like a
too much light to see
i squint my eyes I reach out my arms I would bump into things

if I go blind
I'll recognize your touch
I never missed you so much
could we go dancing tonight?
and I'll follow your steps

we will romanticize
what we want out of life;
you and i will someday die
everyone at the dance was
wearing masks, so
so did i

paralyzed by beauty
don't leap from the balcony

you got a hand in this
i got a hand in this
i reached out for your hand
you didn't second guess

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
this is how the dance goes
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
these are the very steps
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh yes there are hand claps
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

you get two lives to live,
you’ve got such a thirst,
kid
you’re on your second life
don’t think you’re on your first
(go on and ask her)

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
this is how the dance goes
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

you could help me out
you could slow me down
you could show me things that otherwise I would just pass by
you could help me out
you could slow me down
you could show me things that otherwise I would just pass by
you could help me out
you could slow me down
you could show me things that otherwise I would just pass by
you could help me out
you could slow me down
you could show me things that otherwise I would just pass by
