Just One Dance
You called me
It's 3 am
You whisper my name
Like a secret
You can barely keep
Tip of your tongue
Finger tips
On my skin
You hold me close
Too close
You see right through
Like my skin
Is glass
But your love
Your words
Cut me
Straight through
Tell me
I'm crazy for wanting you
Don't tell me
You need me
To breathe
Don't say it
I can't stand it
When you call me baby girl
Wrapped around my finger
You give me the world
Just by
Kissing me
Soft and slow
Taught me to dance
I'm holding on
With shaky fingers
One last dance
You whisper
Against my skin
Just give me
One chance
Give me one dance
To sweep you off your feet
Tell me
Can you sweep this heart
Off the ground
Where it shattered
I would
If I could
I would be
If I knew
Me
The way you know me
You love me
Like you can't live
Without it
And I hate it
Don't want to be
The reason
You can't breathe
Don't want to be
The reason
You stop breathing
One day
One night
I just wanted a taste
One more touch
But you pull me closer
And say
Just give me one dance
Just one chance
To sweep you off your feet
But you don't know
That you had me
All along
