Time Is Dancing – Ben Howard (live lyrics)

Time Is Dancing – Ben Howard

Wrapped up in dissonance
I’m sorry that I just walked away
Lost in the insignificance of mine
I had no words to say

Now I am better
I implore you to say it isn’t right
But somewhere deep in history
Your father pulled the teeth out of your fight

Hold it in, let’s go dancing
I do believe we’re only passing through
Wired again, look who’s laughing
You again, all you, all you, all you

Hold it in, let’s go dancing
I do believe we’re only passing through
Wired again, look who’s laughing
Me again, all fired up on you

And now she’s caught between
What to say and what she really means

Wrapped up in empathy
The chemicals are pushing past my blood
Hold all my cliches
They are tipping my tongue to tell you that it’s love

Hold it in, let’s go dancing
I do believe we’re only passing through
Wired again, look who’s laughing
You again, all you, all you, all you

Hold it in, let’s go dancing
I do believe we’re only passing through
Wired again now look who’s laughing
Me again, all fired up on you

And now she’s caught between
What to say and what she really means
And I am finally coloring
Inside the lines that I live between

I am still not free
No the man still stands over me
I have food that I can eat
But the man paid the poison on my seed
I am tired and I am weak
But my hands they are soft and they are clean
Do you really believe
That a savior is gonna do it all for free?
In my hour of disbelief
I lost the means I need
I am still not free
No the man still stands over me
I am tired and I am weak
But my hands they are soft they are clean
I have things that I can be
But my mind is a weight of centuries
