Local Natives Tap Dancer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Champion on the podium, another win
Quiet when the crowds go, deafening
And he sits down in a darkening room
And he turns off the TV

[Chorus]
I don't know
Everything was easier before
Take me back
Before I knew of artificial roses

[Post-Chorus]
(I don't know)
(Everything was easier before)
(Take me back)
(Before I knew of artificial roses)
(I don't know)
(Everything was easier before)
(Take me back)
(Before I knew of artificial roses)

[Verse 2]
I wish there was magic every day
I wish it was different, not the same
It's a tap dance to you, it's a minefield to me
And I'm watching every step

[Chorus]
I don't know
Everything was easier before Take me back
Before I knew of artificial roses
I don't know
Everything was easier before
Take me back
Before I knew of artificial roses

[Post-Chorus]
(I don't know)
(Everything was easier before)
(Take me back)
(Before I knew of artificial roses)
(I don't know)
(Everything was easier before)
(Take me back)
(Before I knew of artificial roses)
