Like a prima ballerina
Tiptoe tiptoe around you constantly I hear the
water running
Will it wash your tears or leak through the ceiling?
Make my way up the spiral staircase Hope to God you had a good day
When you're furious When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched I feel everything
And when you despair When you cannot breathe
When you wouldn't dare I feel everything
You're in ecstasy But you're not with me
I feel everything
On a tightrope On a wire
I'll attempt to jump through your ring of fire
I'm waiting all the while For a
glimpse of something to bring us higher
One little foot in front of the other
Don't you know I'm afraid of thunder
When you're furious When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched I feel everything
And when you despair When you cannot breathe
When you wouldn't dare I feel everything
You're in ecstasy But you're not with me I feel everything
Left behind
Between love and
hurting Going just where you want to go
When you're a prima ballerina I will
tiptoe tiptoe around you constantly
When you're furious
When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched I feel everything
And when you despair When you cannot breathe
When you're in ecstasy But you're not with me
