Lyrics

You've got to catch an early plane
And its no surprise I'm standing still
Another minute more is all I need
I'll never have enough
This room gets so cold in the winter
What will it take to heat this house?
I just want to feel comfortable
When there's only the two of us in my bed
My foot nearly brushes your leg
I cant draw it away
I cant push it forward
It lies stranded
It belongs to someone else
We knew each other once
This cant be what you want
But you didn't have to demolish me

I don't remember losing sight of your needs
I don't remember losing sight of your needs

I am not an acrobat
I cannot perform these tricks for you
Losing all my balance
Falling from a wire made for you

The sky is often used as a metaphor
I suppose its because its so big and expansive
When a long stranded cloud sits just above the horizon
Leaving a strip of clear blue beneath it
It becomes the panorama
And you turn your head 360 degrees
And the same line follows you round
If the land is sufficiently flat
Really nothing can be compared to it

I dont remember losing sight of your needs
I dont remember losing sight of your needs
Your needs

I am not an acrobat
I cannot perform these tricks for you
Losing all my balance
Falling from a wire made for you

I am not an acrobat
I cant perform these tricks for you
Losing all my balance
