Dance
Roses And Reveries Lyrics

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
I'm feeling restless and unable to rest.

I know that if you were right here, I'd be dancing on your feet
You have such a profound impact on me that being close to you makes me feel alive and full of joy.

People around me don't seem to notice
Despite being surrounded by others, I feel alone in my own thoughts and emotions.

I'm close to giving up, I'm breathless
I'm exhausted and on the verge of giving up.

A voice inside my head grows stronger
The voice in my head becomes more insistent and clear.

There's more for me left to say, this ain't over
I still have things to express and share, and this situation is not yet resolved.

If someone was here I wouldn't have to dance alone
Having someone close to me would take away the feeling of loneliness.

But it don't matter 'cause I'm good at play-pretend
I'm adept at pretending that everything is okay when it is not.

And if you are a dream, then I will never fall asleep
You hold a special place in my heart and mind, and I cannot let go.

'Cause why would I want a taste of something I could never have
I cannot allow myself to feel the pain of losing something that was never mine to begin with.

So I just dance alone
I choose to express my emotions through dancing on my own.

And I count all the words in my head
I ruminate over every word and phrase you have ever said to me.

So that they can fit in that phrase that you said
I try to make sense of my feelings by tying them to specific phrases or moments between us.

A bunch of letters are slipping out
It can be difficult to express these complex emotions in words.

They form a sound as they hit the ground
The words I cannot express form an abstract sound or feeling.

So in a melody I found comfort
Music provides solace and helps me cope with difficult emotions.

From all the noise that exists in your world
Your life is loud and chaotic, and I find refuge in my own world of music and introspection.

And then I play it so loud, I'm screaming
I express myself through music so strongly that it feels like I am screaming out my emotions.

It's all a game in my head when I'm dreaming
In my mind, I am able to play out different scenarios and imagine different outcomes for our relationship.

So now you know why I'm dancing... alone
Through this song, I hope to convey the depth of my emotions and the reasons behind my solitary dance.
