Lyrics
[Verse]
I dance so softly
Through halls filled with echoes
of laughter and joy
then sadness and silence
Holding on tight to the things
that I cherish the most, though…
In the back of my aching mind...
I can't help
but ponder
Do we gather our struggles like scars?
Must we recall the good
but stumble in the dark?
Lost in a haze
Not yet scared of change.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now our bodies grow old and break
I fear the vicious tides
roaring and foaming
Will we crumble like sand meeting waves?
[Chorus]
Waves come crashing
Demanding we yield (oh-oh-oh)
We all look as children
grasping for the shore
And as the tides raise 'round our ankles
then our trembling knees.
Will we stand tall or be swept away? (Like sand meeting waves-waves-waves)
Now spin! And Spin! Then Spin!
And fall.
Let your knees buckle in
as the cold, hateful water
Leaves us weak in its wake
My heart starts to ache
you struggle the same as I…
Reach towards me, darling, the fear’s setting in
Although we may drown in this life
May they say
we did not
Drown alone.
Remember my name, lest you lose your own.
