Its Beginning To Get To Me

Intro:        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   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
