when you appear covered in scorn
i'll push back your hair and pry off the thorns
and just when you're there where i want you to be
the city wakes up and i've got to leave
a casual love if there is such a thing
is all i can bear to give you of me
why do i try to say no when all that i want is to go
softly into the night as often as you would like
baby it's easy i want you to need me
falling is awful hard all you get is scarred
unless you regress like i do...
to me minus you
pull back the curtain pour me some wine
i swear in the morning i'll set everything right
the weight of your mouth full of words you can't form
press against mine, conversations unborn
why do i push you away when all that i want is to play
softly into the night as often as you would like
baby i'm easy, as long as you need me
falling is awful hard, all you get is scarred
unless you regress like i do...
to me minus you
when i've distilled this private affair
to a song in my set list at least i'll get pleasure from seeing you there
now that i've learned that although i want you i need not to go
softly into the night
often as you would like
baby, believe me, i want you to need me
falling is awful hard, all you get is scarred
unless you regress like i do...
to me minus you
