Empty Orchestra

Dance Away

How do I begin,
Without making it sound like a sin?
I didn't mean to intervene,
Neither did I mean to create a scene.
But when you walked in, the atmosphere turned serene.

I looked from behind the pillar,
the looks you graced me with were killer.
Why didn't those high school romance last long?
Maybe then we'd all get along.

I move forward to continue our dance
Looks like you had other plans, you got lost in a trance
I take your hand in mine
You make a face, almost as if you wanna whine

You take my hand still, what's that supposed to mean?
Remember back in the school days when you were really mean?
You'd sit in the same room as me almost always, I wish on your shoulder I could lean

But then you'd probably drop the facade after a pause,
Making me look like I'm a lost cause.
You'd raise an army against me,
And I wonder why you made sure that everyone could see.
Sometimes I tried escaping the war,
But then again it was like me being a magnet with my sword.

Our swords would clash each time,
None won, but none whined,
And I wonder if I said it just because It rhymed.

Now that we're here again,
The dance is the only thing portraying the pain.
It's growing complex now, you step closer to lift me up,
I close my eyes and wait for the contact of your hand with my waist,
The music was good, you have a good taste.
You pick me up, it's all so beautiful,
Suddenly life becomes meaningful.

You put me down,
Unto you, I steal a glance,
You support a frown,
But we continue our dance.

And then it feels like it all happens in a blur,
The musics fastens, your grip tightens
The frown is long gone, there's a noise from the heavens
You hug me while swaying me around,
Maybe its the fear of loss, or its just the dance
You stroke my hair, and whisper in my ears
I dont hear anything, oh! I'M lost, dears!

Dance away, was all you said
You caught my hand and brought it closer to your chest
Made me feel your heartbeat, it was all you did.
I still remember the lub-dub
Almost comparable to the loud music of the pub

Glistening tears in your eyes,
Almost as if apologizing,
And just like that i forgot all your lies,
Yes it was traumatizing.

Dance away, I had heard him say
To my heart, he knew he had made a way
Just remember even if it's night, noon, or day
I would always be ready with you to dance away.

Looking at you I knew that I couldn't leave you,
And you couldn't stay,
So it's better this way,
How we just dance this away.

Just dance away.
