Tapdance
You get back hereYou do it so slowlyDo it calm, nowDon't be so angryI got somethingI've been chasingEvery day since I started walkingIt just sits hereIn the distanceIt always flirts with the tips of my fingersYou thought thatYou could love itUntil it touched youAnd now you just wanna stop itWell I'm sorryIt's not likelyIt was here when you got hereAnd it'll be here when you're not here no moreAnd then some daysI get luckyI can focus and things are less shakyLetras de cancionesAnd I scrape youOff the pale moonAnd I slip youInto soft shoesAnd you tap danceTo a jazz bandOn a cruise shipNear an islandAnd your hair's upYou wear a short dressAnd a wide smileYour movements are carelessIt's a daydreamI keep havingTo make the clocks moveWhile I'm workingOr a bad jokeI can't sit throughAnd I smile because I feel like I have toBut if you'd look under the tableYou'd see I'm playing with my knifeI'm slicing stripes into my kneecapsAnd I'm struggling just to come off politeWe could be a snapshot framed and hung like a portraitWhat if that's true and I'm the only one who knows it?
