Dancing On the Moon

I love this tune, written by my dear friend and the album’s producer Mark Oblinger, because of its strong metaphor for the life I and many other people are currently seeking. It’s about a person who is spinning just out of reach, the same way I view my life’s work. I long to utilize all of my passions to create a life that is true and rich, but that often seems unattainable in this world as many people want to put what you in a particular box and fail to “understand you” if you veer off the path that’s tried and true.

Lyrics

If you’re sellin’ what you’re feelin’
Well I know, cause love’s been dealin’-you a long time
And it’s got you on a string, like a puppet with no wings-
And no place to fly

You were just a soul that needed
Something more than love that’s cheated, something more than lies
And now you’re dancin’ in my head, fillin’ up this empty bed-
With more than alibis

Well I heard about you- in the corner of my mind
I heard about you-and I just can’t seem to face
What all of these feelings can’t deny

Chorus
I can’t dream without you
I can’t hide the truth
That I can’t fly
Or touch your sky too soon …. When you’re Dancing on the Moon

Now every time I try to hold you,
There’s a story that unfolds you-like some mystery
And I don’t know what to do, when I can’t find any clues,
To get you next to me

I heard about you-from the corners of the sky
I heard about you-and I just can’t seem to face
What all of these voices can’t deny

I can’t dream without you
And I can’t hide the truth
That I can’t fly
Or touch your sky too soon… when you’re Dancing

I search for answers from the story in your eyes
And turn the pages in my head
I can feel your words each time I reach inside
A happy ending here?
When I can’t get you near

Chorus
Now I can’t dream without you
And I can’t hide the truth
That I can’t fly
Or touch your sky too soon… when you’re Dancing on the Moon

I keep reachin’
You keep spinnin’
Spinnin’ faster now my baby
Dancing on the moon
