It's Beginning to Get to Me

I wanted somethin' that's purer than the water

Like we were

It's not there now, and 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

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 beginnin' to get my point?

They're always fighting with achin' joints

It's doin' nothin' 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 touchin' in our cold bed

Are you beginnin' to get my point?

They're always fighting with achin' joints

It's doin' nothin' but tire us out

And 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 screamin' 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

We need to feel breathless with love

And not collapsed under its weight

I'm gaspin' for the air to fill

My lungs with everything I've lost
