Ballerina
E.T.K. Lyrics

Hey friend
Addressing a friend after a long time

Its been a while
Acknowledging that it has been a long time

I never thought i'd miss your smile
Expressing surprise at missing the friend's smile

Well then
Starting a new statement

You have to know
Making a request for attention

I never thought i'd be the one
Expressing surprise at being in a certain situation

You stowed
Explaining the friend's involvement in the situation

Days and moments are fading
Referring to the passage of time

Kinda' like a whisper in the sun
Comparing the passage of time to something soft and gentle

Days and moments are raving
Referring to the passage of time

Kinda' like a whisper that will never go
Comparing the passage of time again to something soft and gentle with a sense of permanence

Away
Finishing a line

Ballerina
Addressing someone

Dance it gets to be a
Commenting on a possible outcome of dancing

Homicide in a masquerade
Describing a possible outcome using strong language

Ballerina
Addressing someone again

Dance it gets to be a
Commenting on a possible outcome of dancing again

Homicide in a masquerade
Describing a possible outcome again using strong language

Hey hey hey!
Adding emphasis or excitement

Hey friend
Addressing a friend again

Please understand
Making a request for understanding

Our love may never see the sun
Expressing doubt about a possible future

Again
Emphasizing the repetition of a situation

Will you please stay the same
Making a request for consistency

Until I see you, i'll miss you
Expressing that you miss the friend

Once again
Emphasizing the repetition of a situation again

Far, from afar
Setting up a distance contrast

I see you smile
Observing something positive about the friend

You look the same
Observing something constant about the friend

A little tired
Observing something negative about the friend

From afar
Drawing attention to the distance again

I see you smile
Observing something positive about the friend again

You look the same
Observing something constant about the friend again

Just a little
Describing the extent of the negative observation

Tired
Observing something negative about the friend again

I see you smile,
Making a statement about the friend again

But did you smile?
Asking a rhetorical question

I see you smile,
Making a statement about the friend again

Oh did you smile?
Asking a rhetorical question again
