lyrics

I speak in circumstance I try to hide my mind
I never learned to dance and so i never tried
The more i talk about it
The less I know I never try to find it
But i can’t let go

I’m going back to that place i left behind
I’m gonna try and make things better this time

She sat me down and held me close as she spoke
It calmed my nerves it calmed my restlessness and so
I learned to fight this fever I learned to cool my head
I learned to reconnect the lost and often broken threads

As I search I trace my movements
Through the rain
I try to tell the difference
But it all feels the same

I didn’t mean to scare the child in my past
I told him he shouldn’t try to run so fast
And then i realized he didn’t want to be alone
Trying in vain to find a reason to go home

This is what we do to horses she said as I laughed
The differences between us are significant and vast
I speak in circumstance there isn’t much to say
I find it's easier to dance this way.
