Dance Around

You’re just as you should be
On the phone, on my mind
You know nothing about me
But you don’t care, That’s just fine
We could talk for hours
And still be, just as interested to know
And when I know it’s time to leave you
I just hate, just hate to let you go
You don’t dance around the way you feel
You don’t wait for me to feel the same
And you could care less about a broken heart
Or the chance you might end up in pain
You know if you don’t use it
Your heart will just wither and die
Although your soul is a mystery
I’ll always love what’s on your mind
It seems like I just met you
And it seems like I’ve known you for years
It seems like I’ve yet to help you through
And it seems like I’ve dried all your tears
It may happen tomorrow
Or it may have happened today
Although you may not always understand
You don’t let your head get in the way
You don’t dance around the way you feel
You don’t wait for me to feel the same
And you could care less about a broken heart
Or the chance you might end up in pain
You know if you don’t use it
Your heart will just wither and die
Although your soul is a mystery
I’ll always love what’s on your mind
Nothing around me is different
And yet nothing will every be the same
Who knew the cloud that looked the purest
Could be the one to yield the most rain
So when you’re feeling weary
And it seems there is nowhere to hide
Always remember the beauty
Your heart cradles inside
You don’t dance around the way you feel
You don’t wait for me to feel the same
And you could care less about a broken heart
Or the chance you might end up in pain
You know if you don’t use it
Your heart will just wither and die
Although your soul is a mystery
I’ll always love what’s on your mind
