I  want something
That's  purer than the water
Like  we were
It's  not there now
In  eloquence 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 touching in our  cold bed
 Are you beginning to get  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  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 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 bed
 Are 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  about
 It's so thrilling but also  wrong
 Don't have to prove that you are  so strong
 Cos 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
 I'm gasping  for the air  to fill
 My lungs  with everything I've lost
 We 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
