lyrics

I have a spare bed here.
It's warm, and it's clean.
And I will lay it in for you, if that is what you want from me.

And are we dying?
Or are we dead,
cause I haven't felt you,
and I cannot lose again.

You've never held me.
It's a jumble of mirth.
I pull you towards me,
as if you were the first.
(And you are)
as if you'd given birth.
(And you're far)
Like I'm some kind of widow.

Oh, you're speaking French,
I don't hear your name due to accents,
I saw you in him and I saw him in the blankets.
Oh, my soul is split,
I tell everyone not to do it.
Who needs to? Come on, who needs to?
Oh, split, renewed.
And you burn for me,
But you won't call me back, purgatory.
Oh, so distracted,
burdened but still scared of happiness,
Should I let it go?
Will I be dry?
How can I know?

I mumble like he would.
And I try not to scratch.
And I will keep on moving out,
yeah it hurts, but that is that.
But when I feel your fervors,
so much is erased.
And I think that we're fine,
but love is replaced.

This is far beyond what I thought I was still made of.
Do you get like this? Not unhappy, not quite desperate.
Getting tender now.
Whisper to me about libraries.
Remember what I read.
Will we die? Will we die?
Are we dead?

And we'll live a we(ea)k dream.
And be infinite.
And when it all ends,
we'll call it an accident.
