lyrics

I came close enough to kiss your mouth
But I didn't
I didn't
Just my sweater lay between our hands
Far above us
The church bells rang

You were still in love with her
But I wanted you
I wanted you
And when you finally wanted me
I'd moved into
Another room

Like the right town, wrong address,
Just far enough to make it meaningless
The right words on long breaths
Fall into the dark, they're useless

I came close enough to kiss your mouth
But I didn't
I didn't
And your voice, in a minor key,
Floated over me
As I fell asleep

Is this what it is to be alive?
Watch small regrets
Passing by?
Think of what we could have been
Our lives are sweet
Are they incomplete?

A love song, drifting through the air
In an empty room with no-one there
Like the right town, wrong address,
Just far enough to make it meaningless
Just far enough to make it meaningless

(Close enough to fear what I would say
Stars spin and swing away
And your voice, in a minor key,
Floated over me
As I fell asleep
It sounded like a lullaby)
