If I had held my head above the rising tide
I wouldn't have to hold this breath so far inside
If I could find a love that wouldn't ravage mine
Maybe then I wouldn't be afraid to step outside
I'm dancing with the dark
Alone between these walls
If I could see you here and know that you were real
And not be scared to close my eyes and find you'd disappeared
I'm talking to the dark
Safe between these walls
I saw the tide as it came
Rising steady and slow
Like heaven and earth were saying baby you should let go
I thought the rhythm would change
And send us out of the storm
I might have made it out safe if I was alone
I'm safer in the dark
Talking to these walls
Alone here in the dark
A waltz between the walls
