lyrics

the floor fell out from under me.
can't believe i'm not dancing anymore.
count to four, take a breath, count to three,
and feel the soaring sound of your footsteps
approaching me.

take my hand and i’ll try to keep my legs from twitching, my heart from switching beats.
there is a steady pulse that guides us between
the notes that unfold and eyes that hold hazy hearts
and wishful thoughts of all that could be
as i stumble into you, as you catch me.

the room spun round our feet.
fall and falter, trying to maintain my strength.
count to four, take a breath, count to three,
and feel the steady pulse of your breath
guiding me.

take my hand and i’ll try to keep my legs from twitching, my heart from switching beats.
there is a steady pulse, a tension between the space of our bodies
and the strength of my knees. shaky hands,
trying to land on my feet
as i stumble into you, as you catch me.

your lips in their roundness,
your arms in their soundness,
your breath is the pulse that i need.
your touch guides me to believe.

take my hand and i’ll try to keep my legs from twitching, my heart from switching beats.
there is a steady pulse that guides us between
the notes that unfold and eyes that hold hazy hearts
and wishful thoughts of all that could be…
