Now that we're alone and laughing Just as if we'd never met Would it be so wrong to tell you I could never quite forget How you were on the edge of leaving Waiting for the final words Mouths filled up with smoke and anger Books in boxes by the door What we've collected, piles and towers Lonely in their separate houses And our bodies split like shadows From their footsteps Just think if we had opened up the boxes now Seen what we were throwing out Known what I'd be going without I've been often in the darkest place Seeing you in empty space And I never even tried to Open up your insides And find out what it was that brought me here Now that we're alone and laughing Just as if we'd never met Would it be so wrong to tell you I could never quite forget When you were on the edge of leaving Waiting for the final test I could hole up all my anger I could put it all to rest I could put it all to rest
