Lyrics to Water Ballet
I'm calling you a car
While you try to find your clothes in the dark
I know I'm not supposed to say this
But you'll always be my favorite
The present interrupts the past
I swirl around the ice in my glass
And it looks like water ballet
Synchronized swimmers circle the drain
When I was your man
I got it all wrong
Stuck in a trance, disconnecting the dots
Life goes on and on and on
On and on and on
The first time I wanted to go
I didn't think you needed to know
I have a hard time being honest
When it feels like I'm breaking a promise
And I was worried you were giving up
On your life, so you could focus on us
I needed everything to be perfect
And when it was, I thought I didn't deserve it
When I was your man
I got it all wrong
Stuck in a trance, disconnecting the dots
Life goes on and on and on
On and on and on
Now I'm trying to paint this little room
Delphinium blue
You're obviously on my mind
I think about you all the time
I see you getting better
I wish we could've done it together
But you were always gonna make it through
That's what's so great about you
When I was your man
I got it all wrong
Stuck in a trance, disconnecting the dots
Life goes on and on and on
On and on and on
Life goes on and on and on
Even when you want it to stop
While you try to find your clothes in the dark
I know I'm not supposed to say this
But you'll always be my favorite
The present interrupts the past
I swirl around the ice in my glass
And it looks like water ballet
Synchronized swimmers circle the drain
When I was your man
I got it all wrong
Stuck in a trance, disconnecting the dots
Life goes on and on and on
On and on and on
The first time I wanted to go
I didn't think you needed to know
I have a hard time being honest
When it feels like I'm breaking a promise
And I was worried you were giving up
On your life, so you could focus on us
I needed everything to be perfect
And when it was, I thought I didn't deserve it
When I was your man
I got it all wrong
Stuck in a trance, disconnecting the dots
Life goes on and on and on
On and on and on
Now I'm trying to paint this little room
Delphinium blue
You're obviously on my mind
I think about you all the time
I see you getting better
I wish we could've done it together
But you were always gonna make it through
That's what's so great about you
When I was your man
I got it all wrong
Stuck in a trance, disconnecting the dots
Life goes on and on and on
On and on and on
Life goes on and on and on
Even when you want it to stop
