Ben Howard
Time Is Dancing - Live Version
[Verse 1]
Wrapped up in dissonance
I'm sorry that I just walked away
Lost in the insignificance of mine
I had no words to say
Now I am better
I implore you to say it isn't right
But somewhere deep in history
Your father pulled the teeth out of your fight
[Chorus]
Hold it in, let's go dancing
I do believe we're only passing through
Wired again, look who's laughing
You again, all you, all you, all you
Hold it in, let's go dancing
I do believe we're only passing through
Wired again, look who's laughing
Me again, all fired up on you
[Post-Chorus]
And now she's caught between
What to say and what she really means
[Verse 2]
Wrapped up in empathy
The chemicals are pushing past my blood
Hold all my cliches
They are tipping my tongue to tell you that it's love
[Chorus]
Hold it in, let's go dancing
I do believe we're only passing through
Wired again, look who's laughing
You again, all you, all you, all you
Hold it in, let's go dancing
I do believe we're only passing through
Wired again now look who's laughing
Me again, all fired up on you
[Post-Chorus]
And now she's caught between
What to say and what she really means
And I am finally coloring
Inside the lines that I live between
[Interlude]
I am still not free
No the man still stands over me
I have food that I can eat
But the man paid the poison on my seed
I am tired and I am weak
But my hands they are soft and they are clean
Do you really believe
That a savior is gonna do it all for free?
In my hour of disbelief
I lost the means I need
I am still not free
No the man still stands over me
I am tired and I am weak
But my hands they are soft they are clean
I have things that I can be
But my mind is a weight of centuries
But my mind is a weight of centuries
But my mind is a weight of centuries
[Instrumental Outro]
