I'd Ask You To Dance Lyrics

I'd ask you to dance but I don't know your name

On the south coast of France we could be one and the same

Well every time we get close we end up apart

They've closed all the highways that lead to your heart

Well I'd ask you to dance but I'm not very good

I get caught in a trance I can't do what I should

Whenever my heart gets close to the fire

I stop what I start and I shut out desire

Yes I'd ask you to dance but I don't know the steps

I'm kind of tired of romance I'm kind of tired of regrets

I keep on looking for love without closing my eyes

Well I'd ask you to dance but it wouldn't be wise

Well I'd ask you to dance but the question is wrong

There's nothing left to enhance except the end of the song

This bloody retreat from the valley of death

With ice on my feet and fire on your breath

Well I'd ask you to dance but I never learned how

I was up on the stage and you were taking a bow

I gave up looking for love and now I can't find my keys

And I'd ask you to dance but the words always freeze

Yes I'd ask you to dance but I don't know the steps

I'm kind of tired of romance I'm kind of it's threats

I keep on looking for love without closing my eyes

And I'd ask you to dance but it wouldn't be wise

And all the apples that I gave

And all the kneeling I ignored

It's all garbage in the snow

Just like a ceiling that's been floored

Where I'm living I don't know

You finally broke my heart

I'd ask you to dance

But I don't know your name
