lyrics

i don't know just where i'm going
but if you're there it's okay
we'll take a sleepwalk
half awake
halfway up the staircase

where did we come from?
where are we going now?
hallucination sewn to your dressing gown

lower the lamplight
lift up the cover
to make the broken shape of a lover
feel for the space that seperates
the statue, the sculptor

i've only ever known you moments at a time

but i don't need a lot
i don't need a lot
you're there when i wake up
some days you are not

but i don't need much

where did we come from?
where are we going now?

we were almost close enough
to forget our lonely selves

and through the window a hand comes down
like the sound before a storm
we spent the morning half convinced
we slept in a snowglobe

suddenly its clear that the sum of our love
adds up to nothing
a solitary mother sleeping in the sun
adds up to nothing
the same little sun sleeping in the mother
adds up to nothing

but i don't need a lot
i don't need a lot
it's barely worth a yawn
la la la
la la

but i don't need much
i never needed much

we were almost close enough
to become a single cell
we were almost close enough
but i was somewhere else
