Maxïmo Park – Acrobat Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 21 Second

Youve got to catch an early plane
And its no surprise Im standing still
Another minute more is all I need
And Ill 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 theres only the two of us on 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 didnt have to demolish me.

I dont remember losing sight of your needs
I dont 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 meant for you

The sky is often used as a metaphor
And I suppose thats because its 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
Itll 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

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 meant for you

I am not an acrobat…
I cant perform these tricks for you
Losing all my balance…
Falling from a wire meant for you
