Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats
Remember I Was a Dancer
[Verse 1]
The simple ways I never see
It always seems to drift from me
All the things that I'm trying to be
I just wanna see some movement
To take me a little out of here
Some kindness or maybe, or maybe I just don't care
[Pre-Chorus]
I say mm, mm
Ah, wouldn't it be nice to see me gettin' somewhere? And
Mm, mm
I ain't growing at all
Mm, mm
Take me out and put me down in the moonlight and tell me
[Chorus]
Say baby
Could you pick me up and spin me around?
Say baby
Maybe I'll remember how to smile
Say baby
We can make it up as wе go
[Verse 2]
Well, sometimes I start to feel likе I'm breaking through
A new breath, a way to see
Is it humanly possible or even true?
I'm just up against a wall and I wanna be free
Well, with untied hands, well, what could one be?
[Pre-Chorus]
I say mm, mm
It's a rhythm that can lift you somewhere new and
Mm, mm
I wanna feel the wave of change, I say
Mm, mm
Yeah, let's go out and find it tonight
[Chorus]
Say baby
Could you can pick me up and spin me around?
Say baby
Maybe I'll remember how to smile
Say baby
We can make it up as we go
[Outro]
Remember I was a dancer
In a life somewhere long ago
I could try to put out the fire
Once it's gone, man, there's only smoke
Remember I was a dancer
Remember I was a dancer
Remember I was a dancer
Remember I was a dancer
