I'll run my finger along your open wound
Entice this infection until it's fully exhumed
I'll embrace the battle, so it's safe to assume
That I'll still be here, still be here when you face it
I'll finish the scene, give in to the cause
Think only of you with your unopened doors
Your unfulfilled dreams and abandoned shores
And your fear, your fear that you'll never make it
[Chorus]
Dance with me barefoot on this splintered floor
And sharе a drink from this broken glass
Swallow the oyster that's bеgun to turn
Step into the unknown and be free at last
You look at me with your incredulous stare
Wondering why, why am I still able to care
I give you my love, and my soul I bare
But still, still you fight to resist it
[Chorus]
Dance with me barefoot on this splintered floor
And share a drink from this broken glass
Swallow the oyster that's begun to turn
Step into the unknown and be free, be free at last
Learn to enjoy the wisdom of uncertainty
The beauty of a wonderful moment unplanned
To experience the magic of your true spirit
And to relinquish the desire to understand
[Chorus]
Dance with me barefoot on this splintered floor
And share a drink from this broken glass
Swallow, be free at last
