Matthew Good Band Dancing Invisible Lyrics

Dancing Invisible Lyrics

it started out like everything else, I guess
you are what you are until
suddenly you're like all the rest
I looked out over the bay at the water and
the lights
I noticed we had gone to great lengths but not to great
heights
the bus ride to meet you here took me half my life
and although
the days were clear we drove that night
I sat next to a woman who moved to
the memory of effigy
and I tried to sing along but she couldn't hear
me

we are dancing invisible
there are small things the day brings

like cut strings that we never pull
and after tonight when these things
fade from sight 
I might get you through
maybe you know me now but it's
strange somehow
if I'm lost too

maybe you know me now but it's
strange somehow
if I'm lost too

lights split the window and the wind
blew me away
and the sun scraped the distance like an acceptable
mistake
I stared at the road signs and the possibilities they'd take me


away from you
its funny but in this place its the only thing that
you can hear
those far distant echoes that blow through only to
disappear
when the rain drops and the bus stops and the coast is
clear
and I feel you're near 

I will break it again

I will
break it again

I will break it again

we are dancing
invisible
there are small things the day brings
like cut strings that we
never pull
and after tonight when these things fade from sight 
I might
get you through
maybe you know me now but it's strange somehow
if I'm
lost too

maybe you know me now but it's strange somehow
if I'm
lost

it all ends up like everything else, I guess
you are what you
are
you do what you do
and you get what you get
somewhere short of
regret
I looked out over the bay at the water and the lights
and I
noticed we had gone to great lengths but not to great heights
and only the
crier cries at the break of dawn
I stood boxing my shadow thinking how to
get along
so to yourself or another man to who you belong
when there's
nothing left to fight is it easier to be right
when you know you're
wrong

you are dancing invisible
there are small things the day
brings
like cut strings that we never pull
and after tonight when these
things fade from sight
I might get you through
maybe you know me now but
it's strange somehow
if I'm lost too

maybe you know me now but it's
strange somehow
if I'm lost too
