Dancer Lyrics
I've been lost
Staring at the ceiling
Here it comes
Afraid I caught a feeling
And I fell so fast that now it's gone to my head
And it's cruel
Now I'm lost
And it's true
Now I'm riding high on a fever
It's you
Like a wave, it hits, I go deeper
You're the dancer in the dark or the beat of my heart
You're the evening sky, you're my morning dove
And I drive around at night trying to catch my breath
You're the tear in my eye, the pain in my chest,
Ooh, it's all washing over me
Ooh, it's all washing, it's all washing over me
And I know
How some are scared of living
While others go
Blind into the feeling
And I fell so fast that now it's gone to my head
Like a fool
Even so, ooh
And it's true
Now I'm riding high on a fever
And it's you
Like a wave, it hits, I go deeper
You're the dancer in the dark or the beat of my heart
You're the evening sky, you're my morning dove
And I drive around at night trying to catch my breath
You're the tear in my eye, the pain in my chest,
Ooh, it's all washing over me
Ooh, it's all washing, it's all washing over me
And it's sunsets
And it's all quiet
And I know it's too late now to turn around
So come meet me
At the corner
All the things we don't say, go and say now
Ooh, it's all washing over me
Ooh, it's all washing, it's all washing over me
You're the dancer in the dark or the beat of my heart
You're the evening sky, you're my morning dove
And I drive around at night trying to catch my breath
You're the tear in my eye, the pain in my chest,
Ooh, it's all washing over me
Ooh, it's all washing, it's all washing over me
(It's all washing over me)
(It's all washing over me)
Staring at the ceiling
Here it comes
Afraid I caught a feeling
And I fell so fast that now it's gone to my head
And it's cruel
Now I'm lost
Now I'm riding high on a fever
It's you
Like a wave, it hits, I go deeper
You're the evening sky, you're my morning dove
And I drive around at night trying to catch my breath
You're the tear in my eye, the pain in my chest,
Ooh, it's all washing over me
Ooh, it's all washing, it's all washing over me
How some are scared of living
While others go
Blind into the feeling
And I fell so fast that now it's gone to my head
Like a fool
Even so, ooh
Now I'm riding high on a fever
And it's you
Like a wave, it hits, I go deeper
You're the evening sky, you're my morning dove
And I drive around at night trying to catch my breath
You're the tear in my eye, the pain in my chest,
Ooh, it's all washing over me
Ooh, it's all washing, it's all washing over me
And it's all quiet
And I know it's too late now to turn around
So come meet me
At the corner
All the things we don't say, go and say now
Ooh, it's all washing over me
Ooh, it's all washing, it's all washing over me
You're the evening sky, you're my morning dove
And I drive around at night trying to catch my breath
You're the tear in my eye, the pain in my chest,
Ooh, it's all washing over me
Ooh, it's all washing, it's all washing over me
(It's all washing over me)

The more she thinks about the person, the more her feelings "go deeper." She talks about "a wave hitting", and it "washes over" her... it comes at different times but the way she feels always cut deep. Even the way she describes the person:\n\nYou\'re the dancer in the dark\nYou\'re the beat in my heart\nYou\'re the evening sky\nYou\'re my mourning dove\n\n...the person is in everything that she sees and does. She can\'t get away from them. When the song starts, it sounds like she\'s talking about falling in love so fast and being afraid to continue, but as the song goes on, it sounds like she\'s going through losing someone or not being able to have them. \n\nI think it\'s open for interpretation. Anyone can really put their own heartbreaks into the song and find a connection, which is what I love about LEON! One of my favorite artists.
