pirouette

Lyrics

pour my tea, pour my thoughts into separate beds, spilling out into clouds, whirling like a pirouette, every breath, every cross, everywhere i turn, in my head, stitching thread until my temples burn, from the crease of your mouth to the picket fences, all the space, stretching out, blurring my defenses, dignity, diligence, i could not avenge, sink my teeth in the sheets and taste the emptiness, love is sweet, love is dark and it pulls, your world apart, so you can grow, now i see perfectly, oh, how it's clear, what i needed the most was you here, if i ever let you down, if i ever let you down, if i ever let you down, if i ever let you down, spend my time, spend my dime waiting for the train, all of these memories float around and ricochet, like a storm, when it's thrown out over the sea, as i roll, as i grow tougher than i used to be, love is sweet and it calls you again, to bring you back from where you've been, now i see perfectly through all the fear, what i needed the most was you here, you will feel my love, when the time comes, hear me say, you will feel my love, when the time comes, and you say, never be the same as before, it'll never be the same, you deserve much more, hard for me to blame you my love, so, so, ooh,
