Nate Ruess - Little Ballerina lyrics

[Intro] I just want the chance To let that little ballerina come dance I know it's hard to find romance When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin' I just want the chance To let that little ballerina come dance I know it's hard to find romance When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin' [Interlude] Call me night time I'm your lifeline (Such a fool to fall) I'm your lifeline Baby, I'm a fool for love I'm your lifeline (Such a fool to fall) I'm your lifeline Baby, I'm a fool for love (Such a fool to fall) I'm your lifeline [Verse 1] As soon as she walked in we started talkin' As if nobody else exist With her bleach blonde hair and her cold hard stare And her lucky 13 on her wrist And all night long, I play my song Until she broke down in tears Oh it's just the same, caught up in the game Cause life's so holy my dear [Pre-Chorus] Cause all I need is time All I need is time [Chorus] I just want the chance To let that little ballerina come dance I know it's hard to find romance When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin' I just want the chance To let that little ballerina come dance I know it's hard to find romance When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin' [Verse 2] So take her to the ocean Love to watch her floating Hoping that she drifts my way All those waves drown her sorrow She'll need me tomorrow So what's another empty day But all my friends They see the end She's been doing this for years But I swear I know That her heart can grow Beyond that lonely little life that she fears [Pre-Chorus] Cause all I need is time All I need is time [Chorus] I just want the chance To let that little ballerina come dance I know it's hard to find romance When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin' [Bridge] You've been trying so hard For all of your life Never got it quite right This I know Ohh you say you need it so You just lose control Baby if I find the way To take all your mind away from the call Just tell me that you go [Chorus] I just want the chance To let that little ballerina come dance I know it's hard to find romance When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin' I just want the chance To let that little ballerina come dance I know it's hard to find romance When all your dreams slipped out your hands, oh darlin' [Outro] Call me night time I'm your lifeline (Such a fool to fall) I'm your lifeline Baby, I'm a fool for love (Such a fool to fall) I'm your lifeline Baby, I'm a fool for love (Such a fool to fall) I'm your lifeline Baby, I'm a fool for love (Such a fool to fall) Baby, I'm a fool for love (Such a fool to fall) Baby, I'm a fool for love For love, for love, for love
