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

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 04:23
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
