Breathe deep and easy, Swallow this pride
Stare at my shaking hands through bone dry, bloodshot eyes
Clock strip the hours, I count the miles
Will you be there waiting, awake until sunrise?
I have traveled in darkness for what seems like days
I crawl from the sinkholes, collapsed under this weight (under this weight)
I know not your sorrow, but I know mine
So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight
In the glow of twilight, our world is finally calm
I felt it complete me, when the stars give way to dawn
A language universal, but I speak not its tongue
Is this a night that spans forever, or a dawn that never comes?
I have traveled in darkness for what seems like days
I crawl from the sinkholes, collapsed under this weight (under this weight)
I know not your sorrow, but I know mine
So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight
(Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight...)
Tomorrow we might wake in servitude and sadness (servitude and sadness)
I will give you everything if you only would have me! (if you only would have me!)
Tomorrow we will sweat and toil
Our hands will quiver caked with soil
Tomorrow we'll give it one last chance
But tonight we dance
But tonight we dance!
I have traveled in darkness for what seems like days
I crawl from the sinkholes, collapsed under this weight (under this weight)
I know not your sorrow, but I know mine
So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight
