[Capo 5]
[Verse 1]
DI'm not really here, I -
I'm just looking Emthrough.
I am watching Gyour life;
You're watching mine Dtoo.
DCan I join you for a -
Circle on the Emride?
They say you dGie of shame,
Not cold in the wild.D  
[Chorus]
DIs it true? Is it done?G  
Is it oDver?
DIs it true? Is it done?G  
Is it oDver?
Are you dAancing? Are you daGncing it at all?D  
Are you dAancing? Are you daGncing it at all?D  
[Verse 2]
DMove away from memory.
Move to the Emcore.
Didn't notice Ganything,
No frame to the Ddoor.
DEvery birthday candle
That ever got blown Emout;
Is one more year of sGomeone trying
To figure it all oDut.

[Capo 5]

[Verse 1]

I'm not really here, I -

I'm just looking through.

I am watching your life;

You're watching mine too.

Can I join you for a -

Circle on the ride?

They say you die of shame,

Not cold in the wild.

[Chorus]

Is it true? Is it done?

Is it over?

Is it over?

[Verse 2]

Move away from memory.

Move to the core.

Didn't notice anything,

No frame to the door.

Every birthday candle

That ever got blown out;

Is one more year of someone trying

To figure it all out.

[Chorus]

I still turn the same way to my name.

[Verse 3]

Don't say you need trouble

To run from; to run.

We see lines in symmetry;

Sometimes there are none.

I really like it quiet,

But I really like it loud.

Always changing, never changing;

Never can slow down.

[Chorus]

Is it true? Is it done?

Is it over?

Are you dancing at all?

Dance just a little.
