the clumsiest acrobat

i just want to know
that somewhere there's a girl
who's thinking about me
in some romantic way
maybe she's a girl [that]
i've only ever seen
on a crowded city street
a subtle passing glance
a shot across my bow
maybe we will meet
find comfort in our voice
a simple conversation
words don't matter now
there's something underneath
i can feel the pull
somewhere inside of you
and i am holding on

i am the clumsiest acrobat
i feel more comfortable in other people's beds
if i could sleep for seven years and seven days,
yeah i would choose to wake up next to you

maybe you're the girl
who's talking in her sleep now
reciting e.e. cummings
in between the snoring
i don't even know [you]
might just be the one
who's drawing in the margins
sketches on lined paper
file them all away now
making up a story
that no one's ever heard of
monkeys out in space
they're playing the guitar
you might not think you're beautiful
but i think i know the real you
i haven't even met you
please tell me what's your name

i am the clumsiest acrobat
i feel more comfortable in other people's beds
if i could sleep for seven years and seven days,
yeah i would choose to wake up next to you

i am the clumsiest acrobat
i feel more comfortable in other people's heads
if i could sleep for seven years and seven days,
yeah i would choose to wake up next to you
