Dancing Slow

I remember when I took you camping in the snow
It melted and a river grew between us
Even then I had decided that our time was low
There would soon be miles between us
So we packed up and for the first time I took you home
My mother smiled to see us

I would like to meet the one who said
"If you love them, let them go"
I would like to think I've lived enough to hope
And now, we'll never know

When we met in Vegas weeks after I let you go
We watched the world beneath us
I withered as you left for the plane that took you home
But I steeled my heart and lied, "It's for the best"

I would like to meet the one who said
"If you love them, let them go"
I would like to think I've lived enough to hope
And now, we'll never know

You remember when you took me camping at the coast?
I'd not yet felt the canyon grown between us
I'd forfeited every chance to tell you how I loved you so
Exhausted in the months that I'd let pass
I relive that night, naked, dancing slow
Regretting that if only we had both known

I would like to meet the one who said
"If you love them, let them go"
I would like to think I've lived enough to hope
And now, we'll never know
Know, know, know, know
And now, we'll never know
