Acrobatics

verse:

i started to think the line was dead

we’d never see eye to eye again

built a concrete wall and hidden door

in case you’d want to come back in

used to swear we’d swim

through hell or high water

and leave the floodgates open

is this still what you’d say in that catastrophic place

where there won’t be another call but i never get away

never jolt with electricity

like when i touch your face

hear you whisper my name

prechorus:

i wanna live out the mundane with you

convince myself there’s no pain with you

i made myself refrain from truth

with you

chorus:

tie myself in knots in case you’re watching

defibrillator cross the room

every move has a skeptic spotting

they know i’m a fall risk for you

mental acrobatics

flying through the hoops

I still save room for you

I always do

verse:

i’ve snapped every tendon

and i’ve broken every bone

will you stitch me back together

if i go up for the gold

i’ve never been a gymnast

but i’ll stretch past what i know

with the motive of calling you home

a part of me’s infuriated

you’d dare to reach out

but my anger is alleviated

tear ducts in a drought

keep the secret that i wanted this

from everyone i’m around

resist the leap that’ll put me in the ground

prechorus:

i wanna jump out of a plane with you

cover every inch of terrain with you

sleep off the morning dew

with you

chorus:

tie myself in knots in case you’re watching

defibrillator cross the room

every move has a skeptic spotting

they know i’m a fall risk for you

mental acrobatics

flying through the hoops

I still save room for you

I always do
