I know I am younger than you
You have had more time for scars
But I watched you oh so fooled by the game
They played you like a house of cards
And my subconscious mind read all their lines like poetry
I could not bear the thought of keeping it away from me
With a bad demeanor they are luring all the foolish clowns
And yet we are longing for it nevertheless somehow
So I asked the circus to wait around
Do not know if they heard my calls
But what I know is they left it for settling down
I am still rehearsing above the ground
With dust collecting on the empty seats
I still hold on to this trapeze
And you said I am too young for the blues
That I would not stand a chance
But I find myself unable to move
In the name of tragic romance
With a bad demeanor they are luring all the foolish clowns
And yet we are longing for it nevertheless somehow
So I asked the circus to wait around
Do not know if they heard my calls
But what I know is they left it for settling down
I am still rehearsing above the ground
With dust collecting on the empty seats
I still hold on to this trapeze
Nobody could give me the time back
Pacing through the room like it is combat
I could make the best of decisions
And still be left the fool
Nobody could give me the answer
Left here like a delicate dancer
But dancing all alone so I wonder
Is this my cue
All I wanted was to swing for the fences
Hear the music without defenses
I could make the best of decisions
But I am still left the fool
How is one to know when it is time to
Cut the ropes if you have the chance to
Noticing that nobody is watching
Is this my cue
They say the happiest girls are the prettiest girls
Watch as they soar with their diamonds and pearls
And I wonder do they toast to forever
Because I asked the circus to wait around
Do not know if they heard my calls
But what I know is they left it for settling down
The courage in me has got mud to its knees
I relate to it all by the skin of my teeth
Yet I still read it like poetry
I asked the circus to wait around
Do not know if they heard my calls
But what I know is they left it for settling down
I am still rehearsing above the ground
With dust collecting on the empty seats
I still hold on to this trapeze
