Acrobat

[Verse 1] You've got to catch an early plane And it's no surprise I'm standing still Another minute more is all I need And 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 And when there's only the two of us on my bed My foot nearly brushes your leg I can't draw it away I can't push it forward It lies stranded, it belongs to someone else We knew each other once This can't be what you want But you didn't have to demolish me [Pre-Chorus] I don't remember losing sight of your needs I don't remember losing sight of your needs [Chorus] I am not an acrobat I cannot perform these tricks for you Losing all my balance Falling from a wire meant for you [Verse 2] The sky is often used as a metaphor And I suppose that's cause it's so big and expansive When a long strand of cloud sits just above the horizon Leaving a strip of clear blue beneath it It becomes the panorama And you turn your head three hundred and sixty degrees And the same line follows you round if the land is sufficiently flat Really, nothing can be compared to it [Pre-Chorus] I don't remember losing sight of your needs I don't remember losing sight of your needs Your needs [Chorus x2] I am not an acrobat I cannot perform these tricks for you Losing all my balance Falling from a wire meant for you
