Why Can't We Dance

The more I learn, the less I know The ways of love so far, I'll do me It's beyond rhyme or reason An absurd game of chance Oh, why can't we dance? Life's such a bittersweet affair When you have the means but lack the reason If love always conquers I will fight for romance Oh, why can't we dance? You're somewhere out of reach Like a bright distant star A wonder beyond my comprehension You turn your eyes from me When I draw near to you How can I see what's in your heart? The mysteries of life unfold As years go by, we're much the wiser Why am I the exception To the rules of romance? Oh, why can't we dance? Oh, why can't we dance?
