about
Yearning for intimacy.
A hopeful song about relationship, which was written comparing the dance to the emotional moves that happen when we face the usual distancing that occurs between every couple.
It is a slow foxtrot.

lyrics
We chose to dance together,
Now I want to understand
Why there's a distance between us
Even when you're in my arms
I'm sure your heart aches too,
when we're dancing at a distance;
You're weighed down with your burdens
Let me take some of your load.
I want to be in step with you
not treading on your toes, ooh
I'll help you reach the stepping stones
on this twisted heart-felt road.
Instrumental section
The more we love, the more we give,
The more vulnerable we are!
We want to heal, but we can't conceal
The powerlessness that we feel
Come and talk to me
Let's stop this dancing at a distance...
We're moving to a different beat
and our lack of timing shows
I want to be in step with you
not stepping on your toes
So let me share the stepping stones
on this twisted heart-felt road.
No more dancing at a distance....
No no no no, Let's stop this dancing at a distance...
Now I want to understand
Why there's a distance between us
Even when you're in my arms
I'm sure your heart aches too,
when we're dancing at a distance;
You're weighed down with your burdens
Let me take some of your load.
I want to be in step with you
not treading on your toes, ooh
I'll help you reach the stepping stones
on this twisted heart-felt road.
Instrumental section
The more we love, the more we give,
The more vulnerable we are!
We want to heal, but we can't conceal
The powerlessness that we feel
Come and talk to me
Let's stop this dancing at a distance...
We're moving to a different beat
and our lack of timing shows
I want to be in step with you
not stepping on your toes
So let me share the stepping stones
on this twisted heart-felt road.
No more dancing at a distance....
No no no no, Let's stop this dancing at a distance...
