Like a breath upon the neck of me
Like the rays playing over the sea
Like a furtive kiss of delicacy
Like the adage nothing ventured nothing gained
I've done it all and I've received the pain
The strands have broken one by one

When our breaths synchronise
The layers all peel off inside
It's the last dance for dreams and hopes
It's the last time they go out
It's the last dance for dreams and hopes
For the shadows have come in
Before it is the end
Before it is the end

Reading between the lines
Starting to move around
Slowly it gets faster and faster
My feet are falling off the ground
Hoping to make a stand
To whatever comes my way
The tighter yoold the love in your hands
The faster it runs

When our breaths synchronise
The layers all peel off inside
It's the last dance for dreams and hopes
It's the last time they go out
It's the last chance for dreams and hopes
For the shadows have come in
Before it is the end
Before it is the end
