I need to raise the blinds
let in some light
it's all a state of mind
it's all a lie
and if you raise my blinds
the dawning day
will shine its light upon
the ruins and decay
I need to focus on
the brighter side
the only part of me
that won't collide
with the guiding lines
the rules apply
to everyone
still living in denial
I need to hold on to you
I need to I need to
will you be dancing in my light
I need to hold on to you
I need to oh I need to
will you be dancing in my light
for both of us tonight
And suddenly the words
fell from your eyes
it's in your state of mind
it's in your kiss
so if you raise my blinds
I won't chase you away
just shine your light upon
the ruins and decay
I need to hold on to you
I need to I need to
will you be dancing in my light
I need to hold on to you
I need to oh I need to
will you be dancing in my light
I need to hold on to you
I need to I need to
will you be dancing in my light
I need to hold on to you
I need to oh I need to
will you be dancing in my light
(for both of us tonight)
