Lyrics for Dance Slow Decades

Thought I had a clue It was passing by Thought I had an answer It was just a side Thought I had a dream once Don't remember what Your voice cuts straight through me Right down to my bones Like a winter's wind It knocked out my soul Thought I had some time here Left my watch at home Thought I had ideas once But they were all on loan Thought I conquered something Then it took me down What I thought I heard clearly It wasn't sound Thought I felt your heartbeat It was just my counting And to what thoughts will My life be amounted? I can hear you crying And I am crying too The world might be lying But so are you I can see you dancing If you'd just take the step You might still have it in you Give yourself the benefit And dance slow decades Toward the sun Even when you're the only one Don't look around It's not right It's not wrong Dance because you know the song I dance because I know this one
