lyrics
1,2,3,
Are you with me
I never know
It never shows
I hear your praise
I feel your gaze
But what’s it mean?
Am I obscene
To hate it all
To want to stall
To want no more
To close the door
It’s not enough
But all too much
We don’t know what we’re wanting anymore
We are a pair
A paradox
A sweet release
A little peace
Is all I want
So nonchalant
But when its quiet
My brain’s a riot
I need the wall
Your urban sprawl
To clear my mind
From time to time
I need a friend
With soul to spend
Alone I’ve found
My fears abound
In groups its shown I need to be alone
We are a pair
A paradox
Are you with me
I never know
It never shows
I hear your praise
I feel your gaze
But what’s it mean?
Am I obscene
To hate it all
To want to stall
To want no more
To close the door
It’s not enough
But all too much
We don’t know what we’re wanting anymore
We are a pair
A paradox
A sweet release
A little peace
Is all I want
So nonchalant
But when its quiet
My brain’s a riot
I need the wall
Your urban sprawl
To clear my mind
From time to time
I need a friend
With soul to spend
Alone I’ve found
My fears abound
In groups its shown I need to be alone
We are a pair
A paradox
