Life

On a cold winter's night
In a local bar, my place of respite
Lost in my memories, I can't write
I thought pain was only a word
Used to describe an open wound
A naive definition to presume

But then she came right through the door
Radiating a warm summery light
No one knew what she had in store
I felt something within ignite
I stayed safe, kept my distance
Until, she came to me and asked

Hey you, would you dance with me
This choreography that I call life
Hey you, would you look at me
With the passion that calms down all strife

A few days went by
Normal days, back to earth
Feels like yesterday, I was still in the sky
Who could ever deny
For all it was worth
I was better left to die

But then she broke right through my door
Her heart was filled with worry and grief
She couldn't stand seeing me alone
Somehow, I felt relieved
I stayed safe, kept my distance
But what I needed was to ask

Hey you, would you dance with me
This choreography that I call life
Hey you, would you look at me
With the passion that calms down all strife

I've been searching for this memory
Focusing on the little things
I've been searching for a meaning
It flows through me, an epiphany

Hey you, would you dance with me
This choreography that I call life
Hey you, would you look at me
With the passion that calms down all strife
