I wanted somethin’
That’s purer than the water
Like we were
It’s not there now
Ineloquence and anger
Are all we have
Like Saturn’s rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to hold
Lash out first
At all the things we don’t like
Or understand
And it’s beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what’s in your head
Barely touchin’ in our cold bed
Are you beginnin’ to get my point?
That all this fighting with aching joints
Is doin’ nothin’ but tire us out
And no one knows what this fight’s about
The answer phone
The lonely sound of your voice
Frozen in time
I only need
The compass that you gave me
To guide me on
And it’s beginnin’ to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what’s in your head
Barely touchin’ in our cold bed
Are you beginnin’ to get my point?
That all this fighting with aching joints
Is doin’ nothin’ but tire us out
And no one knows what this fight’s about
It’s so thrillin’ but also wrong
Don’t have to prove that you are so strong
‘Cause I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack
I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screamin’ under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapsed under its weight
I’m gaspin’ for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I’ve lost
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapsed under its weight
I’m gaspin’ for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I’ve lost
