Hopeless I stay, always a coward
Constantly weigh all the things you say
Never enough, but I prove every hour
Making a case just to see your face
I'm alright
But this air's
Getting tough to breathe
It's okay
We're alive
Not the way
That I'd hoped we'd be
Let's clear the floor
And dance it away like we did before
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running...
Nervously shake, my heartbeat won't act right
Constantly weigh all the things you say
Pray that we stay like gardens and daylight
No matter how long by the phone I wait
I'm alright
But this air's
Getting tough to breathe
It's okay
We're alive
Not the way
That I'd hoped we'd be
Let's clear the floor
And dance it away like we did before
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running...
You know that I'll never ask you to go
You know that I'll never ask you to go away...
It's un-debatable, this is the hard way
It's un-debatable, this is the hard way
Let's clear the floor
And dance it away like we did before
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running...
Let's clear the floor
And dance it away like we did before
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running...
Constantly weigh all the things you say
Never enough, but I prove every hour
Making a case just to see your face
But this air's
Getting tough to breathe
It's okay
We're alive
Not the way
That I'd hoped we'd be
And dance it away like we did before
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running...
Constantly weigh all the things you say
Pray that we stay like gardens and daylight
No matter how long by the phone I wait
But this air's
Getting tough to breathe
It's okay
We're alive
Not the way
That I'd hoped we'd be
And dance it away like we did before
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running...
You know that I'll never ask you to go away...
It's un-debatable, this is the hard way
And dance it away like we did before
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running...
And dance it away like we did before
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running in place
And stop all this running...

This song is about the hesitance on the other end of an old relationship to begin anew.
I have great memories slow dancing to this song at Ziggy's, despite the strange looks.
