ballet slippers Video (MV)

Pretty like rosebuds and ballet slippers
Dancing round the kitchen interlocking fingers
She makes me feel like we're closer than sisters
She hugs me and really she lingers and lingers
Time with her is like a buttermilk bath
She glows over me just like stained glass
Her confidence shakes me like I'm full of shivers
Makes me feel like I'm reduced to whispers
Soothing as wild snow drops and glitter flecks
Wild swimming, cobbled pathways and candlelight before bed
I put a braid in her hair
And she said she'd leave it there
Cause she knew if she took it out she'd miss me
And this girl, she looks like stardust
And slightly pink seashells and honey and meadows
And sea foam and pearls and little white flowers
And heaven and earth
Time with her is like a buttermilk bath
She glows over me just like stained glass
Dancing round the kitchen interlocking fingers
She makes me feel like I'm full of shivers
Pretty like rosebuds and ballet slippers
These girls look like cherry pie
And bonfires on a stormy night
And willows and hotels and nightclubs and bluebells
And July and ice cream and small golden earrings
And embers and sparks, they all look like stars
And the mist and the rain and mint green paint
I put a braid in her hair
And she said she'd leave it there
Cause she knew if she took it out she'd miss me
And this girl, she looks like stardust
And slightly pink seashells and honey and meadows
And sea foam and pearls and little white flowers
And heaven and earth
