Dancing Around My Tongue

Wearing through slowly, like the nooks of rocks that try to hide

Tucked away with tender life, if

We lurk, the tide will come and fill our mouths

Spit on the ground

Because the words, they sting, dancing around my tongue

Try to hold the pace of dancing around our love

I guess we knew how it would all play out

We should meet up there

Because the words, they sting, dancing around my tongue

Can't quite hold the pace when dancing around's no fun

All the words we say are all the ones that stall

The onset of ill fate, can't get around that disparate place

I know you, I know you tried

To console, might have saved my life

I couldn't, who knew I was rotting from the inside out?

Tired angels watch us and sigh

It's much better now, with room to breathe, we can talk about it

I'm glad we, I'm glad we arrived, arrived

At a joy distinct, felt across every song

Grateful for the way they've shown us where we belong

'Cause all the words we'll sing are all the ones we solved

Arranged in a new shape, dancing around this better place
