From the recording Spin Me Where I Stand
Lyrics
I wasn’t looking to fall
I was standing just fine
Then you moved
And the room remembered
What it was built for
I had balance, I had ground
Had my edges locked in place
Then you curved the air around you
Like time slowed to watch your face
You don’t rush, you don’t claim
You don’t pull, you don’t plead
But every spin you give the silence
Starts to undo me
I’ve been careful with my heart
I’ve been quiet with my want
But the way you hold the moment
Feels like permission to respond
So spin me where I stand
Don’t save me, let me sway
Every truth I thought I planned
Is sliding out of the way
I don’t need to understand
I don’t need a guiding hand
Just spin me where I stand
Yeah… spin me…
Every lift, every lean
Every breath against the floor
You don’t tell me what you’re thinking
You make me want you more
I’ve loved fire, I’ve loved heat
I’ve loved danger dressed as thrill
But this feels like choosing stillness
While my body learns your will
I don’t ask, I don’t chase
I don’t name what I feel
But the way you move through gravity
Makes my wanting real
So spin me where I stand
No armor, no disguise
Every line I drew in sand
Is breaking in your eyes
I don’t need a promised land
I just need this moment’s span
Spin me where I stand
Say it without words…
Say it with your shoulders
Your hands
The way you breathe
Before you touch the ground
Mmm…
Yeah…
Slow…
Right there…
Let it roll… don’t rush it…
If this is risk
I lean in
If this is love
Don’t stop
So spin me where I stand
Let the floor forget my name
Every fear I ever planned
Is melting in the flame
I don’t brace, I don’t defend
I don’t need to know the end
Just spin me where I stand
And don’t stop till we descend
Yeah…
That’s it…
Right there…
Spin me
