Dance
J. Martins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Inside my mouth I can hear all the voices say
Do not lean over the ledge
I shouldn't look down and I shouldn't have found
That your lips I still taste in my head
Raising my glass to the head of the class
As she powers out steps one through ten
I think I'll be fine if I'm covered in wine
Nice to hate you and love you again
And see you again
And see you again

Weary and worn little monster is born
Tell me lies and I'll justify them
Desperate today and it's making me pay
For that night for that kiss for your bed
Whoever dared to love someone out there
I don't need a balloon and a pin
The name of the game is outrunning the blame
So I hate you and love you we're friends
Guess we'll be friends
I guess we'll be friends

Oh why (why) can't (can't) you take me in your arms now?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me in your arms now?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me?

Better stop crying hello and goodbye-ing
Go on through me slip right through my hands
You get your time and the other half's mine
It's okay this love weighs fifty men
It's okay this love weighs fifty men
It's okay this love weighs fifty men

Oh why (why) can't (can't) you take me in your arms now?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me in your arms now?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me?
Why (why) can't (can't) you take me in your arms now?
Why can't you take me?

Amen
Amen




Amen
Amen

Line by Line Meaning

There's a sign on the wall
There is a message that is visible


And it's written in stone
The message is permanent


That love can't make it alone
Love is not enough to prosper


This far, or this high
In this extent or level


I'm not the one
I am not the person


For a heartbreak dance
To engage in a painful experience


I reap my reward by making a stand
I earn my benefit by taking a stance


On faith regained
On the belief that is restored


So question your beliefs
Doubt your convictions


When you crawl up to win
When you struggle to succeed


Safety is when you sleep
Security is obtained when resting


On somebody's knee
With the aid of someone's support


(Sleeping on somebody that you need)
Resting on people that you rely on


This city isn't changing
This place is not evolving


As fast as it seems
As quick as it appears


It's just your anxiety playing
It's only your worries in action


With the time you need
With the duration required


To break even
To achieve balance


I'm gonna keep you by my side
I will keep you nearby


I'm gonna keep you in the fight tonight
I will support you in the current battle


When it all comes down to
When everything reaches to this point


Making one last noise
Taking a final action


Oblivious to the choice
Unaware of the decision to make


Of writing one more word
Of producing another text


Of saying what I want
Of expressing my desired statements


To question my beliefs
To doubt my convictions


When I crawl up to see
When I make an effort to notice


That safety is when you sleep
That security is when you take a rest


On somebody's knee
With someone's help


(Sleeping on somebody that you need)
Relying on someone to rest


I don't know
I am not aware


How to walk
How to proceed


From where I am from
From my current location


To where I belong
To my proper position


But I have no choice
But I am obligated


And the path is clear
But the way is visible


I will hold my breath
I will pause my breathing


When I draw it near
When I approach my goal
