When I fell, it always felt
Like the world had wrapped a blanket around itself
All I could see, beside me
Were vague shapes of what lay underneath
Here and there an arm emerged
A bit of hair, a stray urge
Nothing connected
The air fell upon itself
I was lonely, broke and hungry in my attic cell
Promises I made when I was afraid
Well they fell like hollow arrows in pouring rain
But still one foot followed the other
And then I’d start over [x2]
I think it was then that the wind
Twisted me into your bed
You wound your legs around mine
And you loosened the air and you slowed down time
Until it was just this:
A breath
And then another
And then we start over [x2]
Like the world had wrapped a blanket around itself
All I could see, beside me
Were vague shapes of what lay underneath
Here and there an arm emerged
A bit of hair, a stray urge
Nothing connected
The air fell upon itself
I was lonely, broke and hungry in my attic cell
Promises I made when I was afraid
Well they fell like hollow arrows in pouring rain
But still one foot followed the other
And then I’d start over [x2]
I think it was then that the wind
Twisted me into your bed
You wound your legs around mine
And you loosened the air and you slowed down time
Until it was just this:
A breath
And then another
And then we start over [x2]
