slow dancing in a burning room

i hear that song about 45 times a day
its an involuntary action that i am trying to shake
going there, to look at things, to read things.
i am trying to shake it.
i hear that this is a "have it your way" sorta thing,
if that were so, let me paint you a picture
so, here's the thing
the way i'd have it, is to never have a day of fear
to never have a day of worry, of scattered brains
to never go a day feeling a longing for something i cant have
never experience sadness, or dissapointment.
if things were the way i wanted them
maybe they wouldnt be the same as they were,as they have been, oh
but
you have your point
but
it wouldnt be like this
i'm just trying to shake it.
my head tells me one thing, my heart sorta agrees
what do i want, to i truly want to fade away?
do i want you to forget?
for forever, for a season, for tonight?
i cant decide, i never have wanted to decide
but maybe it was about time i made a decision...
one day, when i grow up, big and strong,
i'll remember you, i'll remember this
but not as a memory, as a reminder
of what it is like to have loved and to have lost.
i'll tell my daughter who will tell her friends who will tell their boyfriends, and friends
tell them to love with all they have
always expect the best out of people.
listen and watch with a careful eye and ear when people show you who they are.
speak your mind and love jesus.
then
i will remember you.
it's not easy to shake
it's a srtuggle to try and shake it
but i feel it happening.
whether i move or not, my body seems to vibrate
shakin shakin
feelings roll down my eyes, clear down my cheeks and curve round my neck
down off my shoulders go the memories
out of my hands go the things i once held onto, so strong were my fingers
tight hold
oh no, i see scars and blisters now, where those things have left their mark.
c'mon jesus, patch me up, give me stitches
it'll hurt for a little while, but pretty soon i'll be healed up real nice
"slow dancing in a burning room" he says.
i will always think of you when he says those words
will you think of me
i'm just trying to shake this, burning room i'm in.
dance with me, slowly, please?
