Ballerina, the day I sat next to you Made me fall apart and I don't ever do I’m just keeping step with time No one else to fall behind In this island of a life Ballerina, promise me You won't freak out if you hear this I tend to leave my feelings out Troubled times follow me That's why you’re nothing but a dream Kicking hard every night Ballerina, the day I sat next to you Made me fall apart and I don't ever do 'Cause baby I don't care How long you need to find a prayer How long you need to take my breath away from home And baby I'll be here Writing the same shit all year Waiting for the day my arms will take you home The way you laugh The way you walk Gets me like no other talk Drumming patterns say her name And as I watch you roll your eyes The ones I think of all the time Nothing happens but regret Ballerina, the day I sat next to you Made me fall apart and I don't ever do And baby I don't care How long you need to find a prayer How long you need to take my breath away from home And baby I’ll be here
