I'm the question now
you're the answer
this is love somehow
to dance with danger
I've not a clue
I've followed everything you do
I've practiced every night with a mannequin
and I never did find “one”
do you still want this dance?

Here's the darker side
the ego cometh (and go-eth)
I'd have rather tried
to rise above it
I don't know
what possesses us to go
thrashing through our lives
a cartoon still
I'm clumsy and you're confused
do you still want this dance?

Now we're dancing
leave some space on the ballroom floor
never knew a night when I wanted you more
my head is spinning
turning, and turning,
turning, and burning
I won't, I won't turn you down

I'm the answer now
now you're the question
wisdom will always bow
to this equation
so goes the waltz
the music stops when all is lost
but magic will occur
a pop-up dream
too hopeless to hear the band
do you still want this dance?

Now we're dancing
leave some space on the ballroom floor
never knew a night when I wanted you more
you kissed the girls and made them cry
I'm the wallflower that would not die
my head is spinning
turning, and turning,
turning, and burning
I won't, I won't turn you down
