elizabeth saulsbury - dancing on a rug that's going to get pulled out كلمات أغنية

he waltzed into my life on a summer wind
heady with the honeysuckle, s_x and sin
and every day i wonder, would i do it all again

i like being his number one fan
he’s immature and reckless but i love that man
and i couldn’t really blame you if you said you don’t understand

i’m the angel on his shoulder but i’m no saint
i’ve got demons of my own that i am trying to tame
and there’s a thoughtfulness i’ve got that he won’t reciprocate

i want to sew up all his wounds and set his innocence free
and hold him like a baby while he falls asleep
all the while i’m hoping someday he might do the same for me

“liz, we haven’t seen you in a long, long time”
shall i tell you what loving him has been like?

it’s like dancing on a rug that’s gonna get pulled out
i’m smiling and i’m balanced but i stare around
because i know at any second it will all come crashing down

he thinks that i’m naive and i’m so out of touch
but i know each time he creeps away to do a bump
you’re almost thirty_f_cking_five, man, when are you gonna grow up
overgrown peter pan, he flies at night
he dawdles in the darkness while i long for the light
but we’re beautiful and loving, at least until our next big fight

“liz, look at the red flags, don’t you see the signs?”
yes, i’ve seen them all but now i just avert my eyes

while i’m dancing on a rug that’s gonna get pulled out
i’m smiling and i’m balanced but i stare around
because i know at any second it will all come crashing down
i’m dancing on the eggsh_lls of his fragile pride
i try to praise and please him and do everything right
but i’m so d_mn close to packing up and fleeing like a thief in the night

i see myself running
(out of the bar, out to the car)
running
(through little five, right down the drive)
running
(with a head start, could i get far)
running, running, running
i see myself falling
(right through the floor, blood from each pore)
falling
(waking alone with broken bones)
falling
(out of his life, into the light)
falling, falling
i tote around his baggage like some roadie b_tch
and hold my breath for gratitude i’ll never get
and he’s drunk out of his mind when he says “i f_cking love you, kid”

i don’t mind taking care of someone i love
all i ask is his respect, and somehow that’s too much
am i nothing but an object for comfort and money and touch

and dancing on a rug that’s gonna get pulled out
i’m smiling and i’m balanced but i stare around
because i know at any second it will all come crashing down
i’m dancing on a floor that splintered from the start
with just one word he rocked my world and wrecked my heart
and i make all these excuses but he’s tearing my life apart

and if i manage to climb out of the debris
his phantom arms and whispers will follow me
an everlasting hope as fatal as gravity

and if i don’t survive the fall to down below
i’ll be buried with a chorus of “we told you so”
while i’m clutching the most perfect, poison love i’ve ever known
