A beautiful torture, a delicate dance
If I want to even have a chance
Of how much affection to show, what to hold back
I don't know what you think, what feelings you lack
How much of what I think is real
Never knowing how you feel
Every now and then I look into your eyes
I see through the disguise
Other times your body language pushes me away
Keeping me at a distance, waiting in the gray
So I back off, not wanting to say things to soon
Not wanting what we have to lie in ruin
So I dance around the edges
Perouette around the wedges
Your passion shows me the way
For when we're alone, our hearts beat out the rhythm that our flesh moves to in the sway
I'm hoping that one day
Your lips speaks, to what your body already seems to say
Till then it's a beautiful torture, a delicate dance
Watching for the clues, if I even want a chance

Every now and then I look into your eyes

Other times your body language pushes me away
Keeping me at a distance, waiting in the gray
So I back off, not wanting to say things to soon
Not wanting what we have to lie in ruin
So I dance around the edges
Perouette around the wedges
Your passion shows me the way
For when we're alone, our hearts beat out the rhythm that our flesh moves to in the sway
I'm hoping that one day
Your lips speaks, to what your body already seems to say
Till then it's a beautiful torture, a delicate dance
Watching for the clues, if I even want a chance
