lyrics

When I was young I thought love held the key
In your arms I heard music a sweet melody
But somehow in these rooms nothing shines, nothing blooms
And the silence between us is all that we keep

At night I go out, start the car by myself
In my bag I have brought my dancing shoes
There's a place filled with lights, they play music I like
And without you I'm learning to dance

If I was a painter, I'd paint a still life
For the love that has stalled in this house, in this home
And if you were a dreamer whose dreams did not waver
You'd reach for me now, but your touch has gone cold

At night I go out, start the car by myself
And you never even ask me where I'm going
There's a place filled with lights, they play music I like
And without you I'm learning to dance

When did our love lose its wings?
When did our voices forget how to sing sweet harmony
Did they ever know?

I wish you could see how I dance round the room
How I move, how I glide, how I step right in time
I am not here for love or the arms of another
I just want the music inside me again

At night I go out, start the car by myself
How I wish you would ask me where I’m going
There's a place filled with lights, they play music I like
And without you I'm learning to dance.
Without you, I am learning to dance
