I want something
Thatīs purer than the water
Like we were
Itīs not there now
Ineloquence and anger
Are all we have
Like Saturnīs rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to hold
Lash out first
At all the things we donīt like
Or understand
And itīs beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of whatīs in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my point
That all this fighting with aching joints
Itīs doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fightīs 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 itīs beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of whatīs in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my point
That all this fighting with aching joints
Itīs doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fightīs about
Itīs so thrilling but also wrong
Donīt have to prove that you are so strong
īCause I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack
I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screaming 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 collapse under its weight
Iīm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything Iīve lost
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
Iīm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything Iīve lost
