It's beginning to get me
I want somethingThat's purer than the waterLike we were
It's not there nowIneloquence and angerAre all we have
Like Saturn's ringsAn icy loop around meToo hard to hold
Lash out firstAt all the things we don't likeOr understand
And it's beginning to get to meThat I know more of the stars and seaThan I do of what's in your headBarely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my pointThat all this fighting with aching jointsIt's doing nothing but tire us outNo one knows what this fight's about
The answer phoneThe lonely sound of your voiceFrozen in time
I only needThe compass that you gave meTo guide me on
And it's beginning to get to meThat I know more of the stars and seaThan I do of what's in your headBarely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my pointThat all this fighting with aching jointsIt's doing nothing but tire us outNo one knows what this fight's about
It's so thrilling but also wrongDon't have to prove that you are so strong'Cause I can carry you on my backAfter our enemies attack
I tried to tell you before I leftBut I was screaming under my breathYou are the only thing that makes senseJust ignore all this present tense
We need to feel breathless with loveAnd not collapse under its weightI'm gasping for the air to fillMy lungs with everything I've lost
