about

Tango is a reflection on those strained marital moments when one partners simply stops dancing. Usually that partner has been me. Give and take is a necessity for a thriving relationship, but when one falls prey to distraction or depression or disenchantment, the other partner carries all that weight till the other is revived. Thank God for revival!

lyrics

This pain
Oh, for shame
Love that we made
Hanging by a thread
I try and I try
To capture your eye
But the vision is dead
You're staring right through
Where there used to
Be a fire

Why won't you hold me like
You used to
When you shut me out it's more
Than my poor heart can take
You know that it takes two
To tango
We didn't come this far
To throw it all away

Before the flatline sounds
Gotta know we really tried
Pumping out chest
Mouth to mouth
Lovers' best sacrifice
Baby I'm dying

Why won't you hold me like
You used to
Got me spinning tryna prove
Our love will never die
You know that it takes two
To tango
It's too much
For one of us
To keep this dance alive

Why won't you hold me like
You used to
When you shut me out it's more
Than my poor heart can take
You know that it takes two
To tango
We didn't come this far
To throw it all away

So don't isolate
No, don't isolate
I know its hurting you bad
But together we make something beautiful

Why won't you hold me like
You used to
You used to
