und-er

through

and though

you

try to

keep

with the

beat

how to

move

with that

groove

fre-quent-

ly

e-ludes

you

sometimes

you think

your body

and your mind

lose

their connection

and you turn it

on yourself

thinking, wow

you can’t walk

and chew gum

at the same time

but

you try

to give yourself

a break

wait it out

let it work

into you

let it be

let it be fun

something (fun)

you don’t

allow yourself

in any abundance

and slowly

you get to a point

where there’s a resemblance

of a comfort zone

and you can get up

and take hold

of a soft hand

and

walk onto the dance floor

to try

and when your confidence

again is shattered

you do your best to try

not to let it matter

but when it works

you are water

in a river

flowing over the dance floor

cascading down

between and through

other flowing couples

your falls

in love

with your partner

for her softness

her sweet smell

her bright smile

you find

in her eyes,

your cool clear pools

and

every so often

you catch

from the corners

of your eyes

the ripples

of your joy
