Dream

32. Dance With Me

Just dance with me
Forget the makeup and glitter,
You've got a different kind of beauty

I know I'm just another,
One night stand, a bed warmer
We'll never be really together

That's okay,
I'll just have to remember,
That this is all fake

But could you just for tonight,
Let me play the fool in love,
Under this ebony sky

Put your hand on my shoulder,
Let us sway in time,
And pretend that there's such thing as forever

I know at the grey dawns first light,
You'll be long gone to another,
All ties to me severed

But it's now or never,
With you or a stranger,
And I'll choose you forever

I know I'm nothing,
You don't feel the same shiver,
That heart racing feeling

You sip scarlet wine with lips of identical colour,
A cherry red the same as your sinful dress
Despite the lustful appeal I still want more

Though I'm not dumb, and I realize that we aren't anything,
I still can't help but drown in waters,
Of my own lovestruck stupidity

You're gorgeous, the very definition of the word
On the outside, and underneath
That's what makes you unreachable for me

You're here to tangle in my sheets,
Nothing more,
No matter how much I wish we could just lay together and sleep

You'll be far away when the sun rises
A cold spot next to me
A numb absence in the morning

But right here, right now with me,
Spin, fall, twist, let me catch you when you trip
Set yourself free

Lose your mind with me to the sound of music
I'll wake to a bed that's empty,
But tonight,
Please,
Just dance with me
