I need to get you on my mind
I want to fill my head with you
I can learn every word that's been written
And just by all that's been proved
It's all been so simple till now
There's no brilliance like beauty out there
No knowledge as wise as the heart
We all need a reason to care
I need to dance with life
Sweep you away into the night
When there is no one else around
I will make every day count
We need to dance with life
Swim in the soul of your eyes
Till we melt into the night
Oh, we need to dance with life
And leave a brilliant light behind
We could lay on the ground
We could look at that light in the sky
Show you the movement of the million stars
The stars we become when we die
I need to dance with life
Sweep you away into the night
When there's no one else around
I will make every day count
We need to dance with life
Swim in the soul of your eyes
Till we melt into the night
Oh, we need to dance with life
And leave a brilliant light behind
It's no secret how I feel
This flesh and bone I love you with is just a shield
To cover me up and hide the deep deep need
To dance with life
Breathe the sweet fresh air
And make every second your last
And now I'll touch you from any world I wake in
Make the most of the present and the past
I need to dance with life
Sweep you away into the night
When there's no one else around
I will make every day count
We need to dance with life
Swim in the soul of your eyes
Till we melt into the night
Oh, we need to dance with life
And we leave a brilliant light
We leave a brilliant light
We leave a brilliant light behind
