Demi-pointes

We were so flexible
In natural mineral pools
You ate your sushi roll
And I looked down on you
Then on the journey home
Wrapped in your army coat
You always dress like that
You always dress like that
Why’d you ask my name
Why’d you touch my hand
Why’d you go so far
You were all alone
The proper demi-pointes
For dancing on your own
Your second interview
What did they think of you
I read your article
It’s one-dimensional
But when i think of you
Wished i could see it too
Why’d you ask my name
Why’d you touch my hand
Why’d you go so far
You were all alone
I thought I was someone new
Something we could celebrate
I shared all my love with you
I wasted all my time baby wasted all my time
Throw it off the harbour bridge
Throw it on the autobahn
Callousness is tantamount
You’re living in the moment, I’m falling in and out
