Dancing Invisible

it started out like everything else, I guess

you are what you are until suddenly you're like all the rest

I looked out over the bay at the water and the lights

I noticed we had gone to great lengths but not to great heights

the bus ride to meet you here took me half my life

and although the days were clear we drove that night

I sat next to a woman who moved to the memory of effigy

and I tried to sing along but she couldn't hear me

we are dancing invisible

there are small things the day brings

like cut strings that we never pull

and after tonight when these things fade from sight

I might get you through

maybe you know me now but it's strange somehow

if I'm lost too

maybe you know me now but it's strange somehow

if I'm lost too

lights split the window and the wind blew me away

and the sun scraped the distance like an acceptable mistake

I stared at the road signs and the possibilities they'd take me

away from you

its funny but in this place its the only thing that you can hear

those far distant echoes that blow through only to disappear

when the rain drops and the bus stops and the coast is clear

and I feel you're near

I will break it again

I will break it again

I will break it again

we are dancing invisible

there are small things the day brings

like cut strings that we never pull

and after tonight when these things fade from sight

I might get you through

maybe you know me now but it's strange somehow

if I'm lost too

maybe you know me now but it's strange somehow

if I'm lost

it all ends up like everything else, I guess

you are what you are

you do what you do

and
