Pirouette

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 can 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

If I ever let you down, if I ever let you down

If I ever let you down, if I ever let you down

If I ever let you down, if I ever let you down

If I ever let you down, if I ever let you down

You will feel my love, when the time comes, here 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, I deserve much more

Hard for me to blame you my love, so, so, ooh

If I ever let you down, if I ever let you down

If I ever let you down, if I ever let you down

If I ever let you down, if I ever let you down

If I ever let you down, if I ever let you down
