Lyrics
I watch, as it stops for a girl
I observe as time pauses for a girl
A moment, elaborate and weak
A moment that is detailed but fragile
I am easy in her midst
I am comfortable in her presence
Why elaborate, when there's no need to?
Questioning the need for complexity in expression
But I do, all night
Nevertheless, I engage in conversation throughout the night
My words ring like money off a bar
My words resonate like the sound of money hitting a bar
She's here, asleep now
The girl is now here and asleep
One can only go alone so far
Acknowledging the limit to how far one can go alone
One can only go alone so far
Reiteration of the idea that one can only go alone so far
I dream of a deep dark grave
Imagining a profound, dark burial site
Seven feet below Saint Augustine
Seven feet below the town of Saint Augustine
And she's so easy in her breathing
The girl is at ease in her breathing
Why fall in love, when there's no need to?
Questioning the necessity of falling in love
But we do all night
Still, engaging in love throughout the night
Sleep like spoons and forget whom we are
Sleeping closely and forgetting our identities
She's here and she's wound down now
The girl is present and relaxed now
One can only go alone so far
Emphasizing the limit of going alone
One can only go alone so far
Reiteration that one can only go alone so far
But we do all night
Continuing the engagement in love throughout the night
Sleep like spoons and forget whom we are
Sleeping closely and losing awareness of ourselves
She's here and she's wound down now
The girl is here and has calmed down
One can only go alone so far
Reiterating the limitation of going alone
One can only go alone so far
Stating once again that one can only go alone so far
One can only go alone so far
Reinforcing the idea that there is a limit to solitude
