Something Has Changed

We're dancing to Italian songs by the fireplace you lit that day
We're singing to the words we hear, but not really to what they say
It's a fine way to start the year, this eye to eye friendly ballet

Thought "I fell once but I won't fall twice, I'm no fool I can hold my heart"
But the God above had a plan, he had a scene, and for me a part
We're upstairs laying in bed, that's where it really starts

There's a tambourine in my chest you're in my arms it just won't stop
"Should I make a move?" "I think she's asleep" the beat pounds and it just won't stop
She moves away, I've missed my queue, I lay here as a prop

Days pass she's oh so close yet oh so far, it's all so strange
The cards were dealt I didn't choose fate, the powers were rearranged
By the sea I held her in my arms, she's smiling but something has changed
