lyrics

Get inside of a moment.
Take a trip to my head.
Look for the thing that made all my feelings so dead.
Make a chain of desires.
Lay it out on the floor
To find the thing that won't leave me wanting anymore.

Although it's easy to talk about,
It isn't easy to live without,
And trying it's a lie, an act of bad faith.
I want to be with you. It's the only thing I need.
Everything else is a waste of my time. Everything else is a tease.

Go and try what they tell you.
Take it out on the street.
You'll find out that the real world isn't so neat.
Take a trip to the market.
You could buy anything.
Nothing they sell can carry me out of this hell.

Although they offer a hundred wonders,
Neon lighting and techno-thunder,
It's all a trick, a lie, a joke, a bad scheme.
I want to be with you. It's the only thing I need.
Everything else is a waste of my life. Everything else is a dream.

I want to be with you, and it drives me to the brink.
What can I do when you're so far away?
What will I do except think?
