Dance Here Slowly

We'd been out on the floor for ten minutes that's all
And I looked in your eyes and they spoke
They said, "Boy, you can't dance, but you've walked through my head"
And you stopped and made friends with my hopes
And the days I feel weak and the other's can't sleep
You said, "I'll love you carefully"
So will you love me carefully?

Hour left now and I'm holding your hips
You said, "I've not been held like this"
I've called many things "love", and so many things "grief"
They've all just been versions of uncertainty
If you see past my frown and you choose not to leave
Will there be some condition to who I should be
To be loved by you?
I wanna be loved by you

Sudden cracks in the floor, but we're keeping the pace now
'Cause, darling, I
Feel this terror when we start to slip and I stare down
If it only lasts a minute, I'll make certain that you're in it

Keep the tempo now, keep the tempo now
As the roof starts to cave
Keep the tempo now, keep the tempo now
As the world starts to break

Darling, we'll dance
Darling, we'll dance here slow
Darling, we'll dance
Darling, we'll dance here slowly

A second left now and I'm kissing your lips
'Cause I won't let go of this
