Charm & Circumstance from Containment by Dance Movie

there is a girl
there’s a surprising girl in front of me
hair like autumn, eyes like the stormy sea
there is a hand
there is a soft hand reaching out for me
holds on lightly, we walk carefully

I know you hate it when I think too much
(you know I warned you I am no fun)
how do I stop my heart from falling down
when you can’t feel a thing?

there is a hope
there is a lonely hope inside of me
out from under, fog lifts in the light
there is a time
there is a perfect time for everything
be my baby, whoa-oh-oh tonight

I know you hate it when I look too long
(you know you hate it when you do too)
how do I stop my heart? it’s so gone now
still, you can’t feel a thing

in another year or in another season
could this come to pass or could it stand to reason?
if I sat down beside you what would you say—
would you tell me what was real?


and were you lying when you said that there was no one better

or was it just a line from someone else’s letter?
you think I want it all, but I just want a piece
could we make another deal?


and are you sure that you don’t want this?
cause your body’s saying something your mind may be afraid of
I’m only sure of one thing: how you turn my lights up
put your hand to my heart

can you feel what I feel?

there is a girl
there’s a surprising girl in front of me
