a song about being hopelessly in love with someone i have no future with
Feels like there’s 50 thousand miles of space between us
This impassible ocean in the way
I’m terrified of water and I can’t swim
I’m standing at the edge feeling helpless and afraid
Every time I pass through southern Connecticut I close my eyes and try to reach out to you
As though if I think hard enough you’ll sense my presence
Or I’ll leave my body and find my way to you
I want to melt into your arms
And just stay there forever
It’s been a cold, dark life
Just let me die in ecstasy
Safe and warm with your body wrapped around me.
Cradle me softly and let me listen to your heartbeat
But usually you can’t even give me as much as a phone call
Though you say you love me, you sure make me feel unwanted
I’m sick of your empty promises to drive up to Boston to see me,
I don’t know why I still believe you every fucking time
I want to melt into your arms
And just stay there forever
It’s been a cold, dark life
Just let me die in ecstasy
Safe and warm with your body wrapped around me.
Cradle me softly and let me listen to your heartbeat
We have no future, you’re with someone else and I accept it
though it bothers me a bit you never seem to talk to me about him
I want you to be happy, and if he makes you happy, then i love him for that
And I can swallow my pain and pretend that I don’t feel this way about you
