lyrics

IS THIS HOW NORMAL PEOPLE DANCE,
floating ten feet off the floor?
is this how guilty people act
when they're halfway out the door?
is this what normal people say
when they get down on a knee,
"baby, i need you to tell me who to be"

IS THIS HOW NORMAL PEOPLE DANCE,
with their hands behind their back?
is this how dying people feel
right before a heart attack?
is this how people stay alive without breathing?
baby, i need you to tell me who to be.

you make it look so easy.
you make it look so easy.

you make it look so easy baby,
dancing out of one life to another.
you make it look so ordinary,
keeping so polite and undercover.
you make it look so sexy baby,
running through a red light to another.
i need you to be violent with me,
baby, oh i need you to tell me who to be.
