I Lead When I Dance

All these dress rehearsals
And I still insist on wearing the pants
I lead when we dance
Backseat drive
From the left side of the wheel
And I wonder why I feel

I killed the romance
I lead when we dance

I thought I hade come to the table
With more than just a knife
And a hunger aching and unstable
I believed I was ready I was able
I believed I was ready I was able
I believed I was ready I was able

I'll take a breath 'tween these verses
Suffocate this murder
Kill the only chance
I'll plead innocence
Black and blue swear no blood
Had touched my hands
But there's no fun in kicking
And donning the gloves

Against the one that you love
The one that you love

I thought I hade come to the table
With more than just a knife
And a hunger aching and unstable
I believed I was ready I was able
I believed I was ready I was able
I believed I was ready I was able

I'll rest my hand on your shoulder
As long as yours don't wander under the belt
There are rules to be held
I'll step back if you come forward a step
And if you take the stand
And confess you don't know any less

That at average we're worst
And on a good day we're blessed

I thought I hade come to the table
With more than just a knife
And a hunger aching and unstable
I believed I was ready I was able

Closer to the grave from the cradle
If there is just one life
Then compliment, the sweet with some salt
Cause I believe we are ready, we are able
I believe we are ready, we are able
I believe we are ready, we are able
Now I believe I am ready, I am able
Able
Able
