Not too slowly, bring the pace up to perfect
Beast of habit, in all things I genuflect
Baby for you
Though in time, maybe more time, it'll all do
I'm a monster: I've forgotten everything
Each diatribe, awful joke and obsession
Baby for you
Though in time, Hamilton time, it'll all do
Though in time, money and time, it'll all do

There you go, off again and on a flight
I’ve become a parasite living off of you
And I’ll grow bitter, petty and morose
Lagging through a telescope, loving like we do
In my mind, all is well
We’re a glad pair of freaks
And without, I can tell
Not the worst way to be
Beg and choose, interest in none but you
It can be unhealthy to focus on a dream
Careful time, everything will turn out fine
But for now I’ll hit rewind, loving like I do
In my mind, all is well
We’re a glad pair of freaks
And without, they can tell
What a sad man I’ve been

One night I watched Kagoshima
Beneath the stars, and found wholeness

To The Yurt With You

When I say that I'm sorry for being late and high
And you're laughing like mad, dear: I want you then
The feeling was a blessing: to be changed for a change
But I took it much too far, further than I could take
Now I'm oil spill sorry for the damage I've done
So I'm begging you, baby: won't you come home?
Never a night when I'm not needing you
Seldom a single day devoid of you
A full pause overflowing with quiet
Oh baby, change is better
Never a better time to be so blue
Seldom a warmer bed than mine with you
A full pause to my thoughts and of the screen
Oh baby, follow me here
Never a harder hour than when you leave
Seldom a thing I don't fuck up for me
A full pause to the time that we had built
Oh baby, come on closer
Never a night when I'm not needing you
Seldom a single day devoid of you
A full pause overflowing with quiet
Oh baby, change is better

Baby, baby, come on: just give up
Only call you baby when I really fucked up
If I could just make amends with my love
Baby, baby, baby, have I said it enough?
Ever since then, never been sure
Alone at night: those are the worst times
I was confused, broken on you
Talking for two, not like the first times
Baby it's gone, where has it gone?
Baby, baby, I'm on, don't hang up
Only call you to say that I'm taking it rough
If you could just say a word, it'd be enough
I can never surprise, so why even pick up?
Ever since then, never been sure
Alone at night: those are the worst times
I was confused, broken on you
Talking for two, not like the first times
Baby it's gone, where has it gone?
Had it so good, now good is dishonest
Wish I could change, see how they smile
Bring up their kids; mine won't even know you
Baby it's gone, where has it gone?
If it was you, know: I don't regret anything
Had I been you, no: would not've been different
Not even all the praying
Not even all the silence
