"Days" lyrics

I cross my heart to say
You never get to choose
And how hard it was today
Just to muse
And slip out of the flow
The patterns and the news
Try not to fear or speak
Or repeat, "How are you?"
The death of me
Is but a play
And we're actors in a way
We're actors, every day

But it's true
And I knew you wanted to
Dance with me
I'll dance with you
All that's temporary
All we said we'd do
Just dance with me
I'll dance for you

Here in my arms
Fearing my grave
Death is the star
Here on the stage
I think too much
I ran so fast, I couldn't move
My knees are weak and broken, bruised
The streets I knew are riddled too
On cobblestone, I ran for you
Feet, don't fail me now
Two lefts, out of tune
But song lives in the chance to ask this dance

With you
And I knew you wanted to
Dance with me
I'll dance for you
All that's temporary
All we said we'd do
Just dance for me
I'll dance for you
