Today i wrote a song, and i guess that it's about you

Or how i never understood what dancing meant until i met you

In a winter college town you proved

That we could move in ways so un-ingenuine

Then: on the crowded floor, a little down, ten people over

Was like standing on the violent ocean shore

I said "you know it'd be the same,"

And i said "boy don't be naive

Even if i stuck around, but you know i'm always leaving

So today i wrote this song

But somehow i know it's not about you

As much as wanting to belong, or have something to connect to

And how impermanence came wholly into question

When you challenged my perception

That to go back and forth is such a noble task

You shook the sea without so much as leaving tracks

And gave motion a whole new meaning

One i'd try to learn if i wasn't always leaving

But you know i'm always leaving
