It was an accident
I couldn't turn away
You grabbed my hand
We painted every colour
Between the outlines
Of the day

I was a slave to nature
You were water on the fire

And right between our eyes
Right between our thighs
Between our arms
Between our stomachs
In our bodies every night
There lied an answer

It came pouring out
Like water on the fire
On the outcry of our lives
Every night

I hear your voice
In empty rooms

I just want to be with you

Until tomorrow comes
Behind a cloudy sky
I'll be someone else
And you'll be someone
I don't recognize, except
When I see your eyes

I'm reminded of a brighter
Time in my life

But of course
You never pay just once
You never play just twice
Before I met you, I would go out
Smashing bottles every night

It's alright, it's alright
Pour the water on the fire

It's alright, it's alright
Pour the water on the fire
Every night

The trees still call out in your name
Mercury in retrograde

Cold blood on the windowpane
In June

Deserts flood in tides of endless green
Upon the liquid earth, if only you were there

Birds don't tangle quite the same
In your hair

I hear your voice
In empty rooms

I just want to be with you
I just want to be with you
I just want to be with you

Be with you
Be with you
