Like a prima ballerina,
I tiptoe tiptoe around you constantly
I hear the water running
Will it wash your tears or leak through the ceiling?
Made my way up through the spiral staircase
Hoped to God you had a good day

When you're furious
When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched
I feel everything
And when you despair
When you cannot breathe

I feel everything
When you're in ecstasy
But you're not with me
I feel everything

On a tightrope
On a wire
I'll attempt to jump through your ring of fire
I'm waiting all the while
For a glimpse of something to bring us higher
One little foot in front of the other
Don't you know I'm afraid of thunder
