If I wanted to trap youI’d build a web of lies. If I wanted to control youI’d keep you hynoptized: If I wanted you to chase me,I’d run serpentine. I just want to love you,And know that you are mine. You know the steps to every danceA woman could use to lure you in, And…
Teach me to dance.You know all the stepsThe approach, the embraceAll the romance The patterns so easyAnd often repeatedBut I’ve never done thisIt feels quite queasy

I had no ideaThat I could love.Broken heartedFrom birth,I was certainI would never findSomeone who could love meAnd teach me how to love.But somehowStumbling in the darknessOf life without intimacyYour voice broke through.And like a childLearning to crawlAnd then walk.And then fall.I’m finding thatI can do anythingEven loveAnd be loved.
