I'd Ask You To Dance
Dancing Through Uncertainty: A Melodic Quest for Love
Lyrics
I'd ask you to dance but I don't know your name
I am interested in dancing with you, but I don't know your name.
On the south coast of France we could be one and the same
Imagining a romantic connection on the south coast of France where we could be similar or compatible.
Well every time we get close we end up apart
Despite getting close, we always end up apart.
They've closed all the highways that lead to your heart
Obstacles and challenges have emerged, hindering the path to your heart.
Well I'd ask you to dance but I'm not very good
I would invite you to dance, but my dancing skills are lacking.
I get caught in a trance I can't do what I should
I become entranced and fail to do what I should.
Whenever my heart gets close to the fire
When my emotions intensify, I refrain from pursuing and suppress my desires.
I stop what I start and I shut out desire
I halt my actions and resist the pull of desire.
Yes I'd ask you to dance but I don't know the steps
Expressing a willingness to dance, but lacking the knowledge of dance steps.
I'm kind of tired of romance I'm kind of tired of regrets
Feeling fatigued with romance and burdened by regrets.
I keep on looking for love without closing my eyes
Continually seeking love without closing one's eyes to reality.
Well I'd ask you to dance but it wouldn't be wise
Considering asking to dance, but recognizing potential unwise consequences.
Well I'd ask you to dance but the question is wrong
Acknowledging a desire to dance, but questioning its appropriateness.
There's nothing left to enhance except the end of the song
Nothing left to enhance except reaching the end of the song.
This bloody retreat from the valley of death
Describing a challenging retreat from a difficult situation.
With ice on my feet and fire on your breath
Symbolizing a challenging journey with contrasting elements of ice and fire.
Well I'd ask you to dance but I never learned how
Expressing a desire to dance, but lacking the knowledge or skill to do so.
I was up on the stage and you were taking a bow
Recalling a moment on stage and a missed opportunity for connection.
I gave up looking for love and now I can't find my keys
Abandoning the search for love and facing the consequences of that decision.
And I'd ask you to dance but the words always freeze
Expressing a desire to dance, but being hindered by frozen words.
Yes I'd ask you to dance but I don't know the steps
Repeating the desire to dance, with a reminder of not knowing the steps.
I'm kind of tired of romance I'm kind of it's threats
Expressing weariness with romance and its potential threats.
I keep on looking for love without closing my eyes
Continuing the search for love with open eyes.
And I'd ask you to dance but it wouldn't be wise
Considering asking to dance, but recognizing potential unwise consequences.
And all the apples that I gave
Alluding to past gestures and efforts represented by apples given.
And all the kneeling I ignored
Ignoring acts of submission or pleading.
It's all garbage in the snow
Describing past experiences as worthless, like garbage in the snow.
Just like a ceiling that's been floored
Using metaphor to convey a shattered or damaged state, similar to a floored ceiling.
Where I'm living I don't know
Expressing a sense of disorientation and uncertainty about one's current living situation.
You finally broke my heart
Acknowledging a broken heart.
I'd ask you to dance
Reiterating the desire to dance, despite not knowing the person's name.
But I don't know your name
Repeating the initial sentiment of not knowing the person's name, concluding the song.
