Let's Dance

It was super cold today, but super sunny too, so I decided to get outside for a run. This was one of the songs Slacker picked out for me, and these lyrics have been stuck on repeat in my head ever since:

If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
Tremble like a flower

This song is such a classic -- and I love that verse -- but I'm just a little bit disappointed, upon seeing it in black and white, that it doesn't make more sense.

Oh well. I guess sometimes it's not always about the lyrics making perfect sense. Sometimes it's about how it makes you feel. And this song makes me feel good -- bringing me back -- a long way back -- to junior high dances.

Now, it is true that not all my memories of junior high dances are positive. I seem to recall going into the bathroom and kicking the stall door in frustration during one particular low point when I certain boy I set my sights on had the audacity of refusing my offer to follow Bowie's instructions:

Let's dance
Let's dance
Let's dance
For fear your grace should fall
Let's dance
For fear tonight is all
Let's sway
You could look into my eyes
Let's sway
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight

But hearing this song was always a high point...
