• I stand over the edge
    too scared to fall
    I keep glancing at you,
    watching if you'll move at all

    Too scared to admit it,
    that we need, that we want
    that we wish and we regret
    that we're sorry, we still love

    Hesitation and wait
    that's what it's all about:
    Anticipating the next word
    and careful to make a sound

    I take a step forward
    and you take a step back
    Not daring to let go
    Yet never closing the gap

    Feigning strength in unknown waters,
    calming down a trembling heart
    Each one testing the other
    only to cower and run back

    It's cowardice you see,
    always afraid to fall again
    to get cut again, get hurt again
    too chicken to accept the end

    I still cling to whatever's left,
    if there's anything left behind
    It's a trace of what it was,
    but it's too small to fill me up

    It's always gonna be there
    that memory, that glimpse
    of happiness, of passion
    of elation, of love

    But the dancing comes to a halt
    with it's emotion everlasting
    In the end it turns out
    that we had just been waiting
    to see who'd be first to shout,
    who'd dare to admit the fact,
    the fact so clear, so bold;
    That I want you back
