Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I float along on a sea of change
Between the shores of joy and pain
I'm on the ride, but I can't sit still
My mind is racing for another thrill
[PreChorus]
I'm feeling lovely
I haven't been to sleep in days
Nothing ever seems to fill me
I persist until it almost kills me, yeah
[Verse 2]
My eyes are closed, but I can't find peace
I count my fears as I fall to sleep
My words are green, but my thoughts are red
Ancient scenes running through my head
[PreChorus]
See what I'm made of
Do I have your sympathy?
What you hold is never gonna do it
Can't you see it's just a dance we're doing?
[Chorus]
Why don't we try to dance through life instead?
Why don't we try to live our lives instead?
Passes in a moment, and then you're dead
Why don't we try to dance through life instead?
[Chorus]
Why don't we try to dance through life instead?
Why don't we try to dance through life instead?
It passes in a moment, and then you're dead
Why don't we try to dance through life instead? Oh
