I want something
That's purer than the water
Like we wereIt's not there now
Ineloquence and anger
Are all we haveLike Saturn's rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to holdLash out first
At all the things we don't like
Or understandAnd 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 touching in our cold bedAre you beginning to get my point
They're always fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight's aboutThe answer phone
The lonely sound of your voice
Frozen in timeI only need
The compass that you gave me
To guide me onAnd 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 touching in our cold bedAre you beginning to get my point
They're always fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
And no one knows what this fight's aboutIt's so thrilling but also wrong
Don't have to prove that you are so strong
'Cause I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attackI 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 tenseWe need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I've lostWe need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I've lost
