It's not the fest itself i long for
It's not the raving lights and sounds
I want those moments in the darkness to be mine
It's the smiles on your faces that
I can't bear to see
They're so pretty, so volatile
And here so far away
I'm remiss

It's not the afternoon drunk that I look for
It's not the only way this darkness goes away
I want your hands in mine like they want me there
Like they never knew anything else
It's the songs from the slow dances
I hear that you had
Your tragedies
Echo to me
And here so far away

It's the sound of the cloth on your skin I live for
It's the way that you move through the house in my coat
It's the sigh that escapes your mouth in the night cold
And when we're dancing, we're dancing so, so, so slow
We're dancing slow

I wish I hadn't shown you that band that I knew
Cause I knew that you'd end up
Being loved for who I am
