Seashell Ballerina Lyrics

Don't know why I keep thinking it'll change

Like coins into a claw machine

Hoping for hugs

And I've tried calculating a range

Of conversations we could share

Tea in our mugs

But every time I climb closer to you

I fall a little further from home

Oh, here I kneel again

Ballerina on seashells

A shell

Hey, are you listening

Don't you understand my dripping words

Or are they just words

Ahh ahhh hmm ahh

Spilling words isn't all that systematic

I hoped my eagerness

Would fill the silence between

And I hate it when you say I'm just dramatic

I know I'm expressive

But my heart's not mise en scène

And every time I think we're on the mend

I pirouette another one cracks

Oh, here I kneel again

Ballerina on seashells

A shell

Hey, are you listening

Don't you understand my dripping words

Or are they just words

All I ever wanted was

For you to want me back

If you told me where I stood

My conches wouldn't crack

'Cause I'm a seashell ballerina

And I wipe my tears with tulle

Ahhh ahhh ahh

Here I kneel again

Ballerina on seashells

A shell

Oh, hey, I know you're not listening

You don't understand my dripping words

They're just words
