I've got this taste for things just beyond my reach
Pull me right into your sway
I'm slipping now, sinking under the ice
Nights are getting shorter these days

Dance like the shadows
Turn and twist but we don't touch
I can't take it
Closer you are the less I see
When it's all too much
I know you won't be
Reaching for me

Need to come clean
No please stop me this time
Even the truth sounds more a like a lie

Dance like the shadows
Turn and twist but we don't touch
I can't take it
Closer you are the less I see
When it's all too much
I know you won't be
Reaching for me

So I bite, I bite this tongue until it bleeds
A tattered heart never wants what it needs

Dance like the shadows
Turn and twist but we don't touch
I can't take it
Closer you are the less I see
When it's all too much
I know you won't be
Reaching for me
