Verse 1:

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 

Chorus:
                      
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 

Verse 2:

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
