Pirouette

(album: Without My Enemy What Would I Do - 2015)

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]
