You're my pal, I'm your friend, together we can patch up our loose ends    I'm as close as I can get but you're so far away it's that I must confess   That I've tried to numb my heart stop it beating before it starts   But I can't win I can't climb    The barbed wire fence to make a start and untangle my mind       Is this the path I chose? Because It's reserved for those    Who spend their lives swimming in a goldfish bowl   I need to numb the past but it seems too much a task   To smash the glass and throw those gills away      If we're alone I can't stand to see you basking on top of my throne   But still I'll start to hear you breathe my name you know you're eating up my heart      And I'm drinking from your cup but It needs filling up    Before long I'll be crawling to your door   I need to fill my lungs with air be convinced that I don't care    I'll kick myself until I'm forced to linger up      Turn the light on show the way   Don't out myself of everyday   And tell myself I'm someone else   and close my ears to what they say      Because I'm wrong you're right   I don't need you to tell me when I can hear it every night   Disconnect myself from the throng   And I'm counting this last time because    It's the last time I'll belong and I belong      Once I stopped and looked behind and turned to salt and no method could I find   To enjoy the here and now it's left me swinging and to stop it don't know how      Well it's you I got to know   And we watched this friendship grow   It just takes a fool like me to light it and watch it burn    And I can't say your name and I won't forget my shame    I'm not here drowned my phone for good      Burn the bridge that crossed your moat    It's the only way I'll float   In you I find something divine   But I'll just look from far away      Because I'm wrong your right   I don't need you to tell me when I can hear it every night   Disconnect myself from the throng   And I'm counting this last time because    It's the last time I'll belong and I belong      I once belonged
