"Remember I Was A Dancer" lyrics - NATHANIEL RATELIFF

The simple ways I never see
It always seems to drift from me
All the things that I'm trying to be
I just wanna see some movement
To take me a little out of here
Some kindness or maybe, or maybe I just don't care

[Pre-Chorus:]
I say mm, mm
Ah, wouldn't it be nice to see me gettin' somewhere? And
Mm, mm
I ain't growing at all
Mm, mm
Take me out and put me down in the moonlight and tell me

[Chorus:]
Say baby
Could you pick me up and spin me around?
Say baby
Maybe I'll remember how to smile
Say baby
We can make it up as we go

Well, sometimes I start to feel like I'm breaking through
A new breath, a way to see
Is it humanly possible or even true?
I'm just up against a wall and I wanna be free
Well, with untied hands, well, what could one be?

[Pre-Chorus:]
I say mm, mm
It's a rhythm that can lift you somewhere new and
Mm, mm
I wanna feel the wave of change, I say
Mm, mm
Yeah, let's go out and find it tonight

[Chorus:]
Say baby
Could you can pick me up and spin me around?
Say baby
Maybe I'll remember how to smile
Say baby
We can make it up as we go

[Outro:]
Remember I was a dancer
In a life somewhere long ago
I could try to put out the fire
Once it's gone, man, there's only smoke
Remember I was a dancer
Remember I was a dancer
Remember I was a dancer
Remember I was a dancer
