Your Turn in the Middle

Only when you're ready

I see your heel keeping time by the pillar
Your friend in yellow knows the tune
She offers you her hand, then waits
I leave a little space for you
No spotlight swinging at your face
No one dragging you from the side
Just one familiar bassline rolling
You take a breath and step inside

Step left, step right
Let that first one be enough

Your turn in the middle
Let me see you move
One small step is plenty
When it comes from you

Your turn
Your own way

Your turn
Your own way

Your shoulders loosen before your hands do
Then both arms find a little height
The yellow dress puts down the camera
She wants to be here in this light
You make a turn I've never seen
A little pause before the slide
I try it once; you shake your head
Then laugh and show me one more time

Your turn in the middle
Let me see you move
One small step is plenty
When it comes from you

Your own way

I thought I'd have to lead you through it
I thought I knew what you would do
Now I'm the one who stops and watches
Waiting for the next step from you

Your turn in the middle
Now I'm following you
I came to start the dancing
You showed me something new

Your turn in the middle
Show me that one again
