Dancing Blind - Ume

Close your eyes

Hear who is moving

No one needs eyes

I know I didn’t realize we were holding on

Oh so strongly

Softly be mine

And so you stand alone trusting the floor

Afraid of coming forth

Seen holding your small hands

Against the wall

As if to move is to fall

And now you feel your heart

Beating beneath your skin

It’s not security

So can you close your eyes

Open your ears

And pretend we’re dancing blind

No one’s too close

So loud it’s felt

So loud it’s felt to your bones

And you’ve held on way too strong

Holding on oh so strong

Softly be mine

And so you stand alone trusting the floor

Afraid of coming forth

Seen holding your small hands

Against the wall

As if to move is to fall

And now you feel your heart

Beating beneath your skin

It’s not security

So can you close your eyes

Open your ears

And pretend we’re dancing blind
