David Roth – Trying to Dance 
 It's three in the morning, I'm tired and sleepy but not quite enough to turn in
 I think I'll just prop up my feet on the sofa and wait for the world to slow down
 The tiniest noises, the icebox and airplane, a baby who cries down the hall
 I know the feeling, alone and defenseless and senseless and silly and small
 
 If I promise to try and stand up straight
 Do you think you might give me a chance?
 Though I stumbled and fall when I tell you I love you
 You know that I'm trying to dance
 
 It's three in the morning, the faucet is dripping, it reminds me of the way we behave
 A trickle of feeling, a splash of emotion but an ocean without any waves
 I'm testing the waters, I'm putting a foot out and I'm tumbling right in over my head
 I'm sinking and scrambling for safety and falling flat on my face instead
 
 If I promise to try and stand up straight
 Do you think you might give me a chance?
 Though I stumbled and fall when I tell you I love you
 You know that I'm trying to dance
 
 So many problems around today
 Seems so silly to be worried 'bout love
 But if love isn't right for me this way
 Then I can't worry about anything else
 
 
 It's three in the morning, I've just missed that subway
 Guess I'll catch the one at 3:45
 I will sit on this bench and I'll think of the time
 When our music and love were alive
 
 We used to have quite a rhythm and romance
 A regular couple of pros
 But the closer we danced I grew clumsy and awkward
 I was stepping all over our toes
 
 If I promise to try and stand up straight
 Do you think you might give me a chance?
 Though I stumbled and fall when I tell you I love you
 You know that I'm trying to dance
 
 Though I stumble and fall when I tell you I love you
 You know that I try
 You know that I try
 You know that I'm trying
 To dance
