Keys clutched, the doorknob's in my hand
But I doubt if I can still get inside
Your every move seems away from me
I haven't seen your heart open in so long
Do you want to know how it dances without me
Maybe you've got more balance without me
If I must I'll step aside a bit
If that's better, if that's better
Does life shine more without me
Does love get another chance without me
If that's really so I'll set you free
If it's better, if that's better
Doesn't mean I don't miss you
The front door opens and I slam it shut again
Even though what I wanna say's on my face
I can't talk to you so I stay quiet
But it feels like you don't wanna fight for me
Do you want to know how it dances without me
Maybe you've got more balance without me
If I must I'll step aside a bit
If that's better, if that's better
Does life shine more without me
Does love get another chance without me
If that's really so I'll set you free
If that's better, if that's better
Doesn't mean I don't miss you
Just go see how it dances
Just go see how it dances
It's not that I don't want to
But I've forgotten the whole way
I wouldn't know which direction, which road still leads to you
Keys clutched, the doorknob's in my hand
I'm sure I'll learn how it dances without you
Even though I miss the balance without you
I hope I can do it without you
If that's better, if that's better
Just go see how it dances without me
Let love have a chance again without me
If I must I'll step aside a bit
If that's better, if that's better
Just go see how it dances
Just go see how it dances
Do you want to know how it dances without me
Maybe you've got more balance without me
If I must I'll step aside a bit
If that's better, if that's better
Doesn't mean I don't miss you

SONG MEANING

"Hoe Het Danst" feels like standing at the doorway of a relationship, keys in hand, wondering whether to step back in or let the other person discover their own rhythm. Marco Borsato, joined by DJ-producer Armin van Buuren and powerhouse vocalist Davina Michelle, turns the simple act of dancing into a heartfelt metaphor for love. The singer worries that his presence might steal his partner’s balance and sparkle, so he offers to move aside, even though every word drips with longing.

The track captures that bittersweet moment when you love someone enough to let them go. You can almost see the hesitant shuffle of feet: one step forward, one step back, keys jangling, heart pounding. While the chorus encourages the partner to “see how it dances without me,” the repeated confession “wil niet zeggen dat ik jou niet mis” (it doesn’t mean I don’t miss you) reminds us that real love often includes sacrifice. It is a modern power-ballad about courage, self-doubt, and the hope that, whether together or apart, both hearts will find the beat that suits them best.
