I want something   That's purer than the water   Like we were      It's not there now   Ineloquence 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   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 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   'Cause 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 collapsed under its weight   I'm gasping for the air to fill   My lungs with everything I've lost
