I Lead When We Dance

I Lead When We Dance - Angie Hart

All these dress rehearsals

And I still insist on wearing the pants

I lead when we dance

Back seat 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 had 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 had 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 wonder 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 had 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
