Irma

Call, remind, respond

Feel, reply, to this distant letting go

Have I been here on my own before?

Love percolates

Can you feel it when my gaze is broken?

Yes, I'm alone

I should thank you on the phone

And buy you flowers more

Say what you mean, how you feel, in the dark

You can crawl back to life

Here I am, not alone, won't you

Cling, grasp, and taste

Pull me close and never waste

Any words, any time, any love on your mind

This could be much worse, couldn't it?

Imagine what it'd feel like

Feeling the same things every night

Unfamiliar calm, no better way to pass the time

You were always so sure

And you were the one to change my mind

In Seattle now, Athens and San Francisco

Cause you can be the only one

To tell me more, to give me up

Take the time to let me let my guard down

Say what you mean, how you feel, in the dark

You can crawl back to life

Here I am, not alone, won't you

Cling, grasp, and taste

Hold me close and never waste

Any words, any time, any love on your mind

This could be much worse, couldn't it?

Feeling a longing that grows deeper

And deeper, and deeper

Say what you mean, how you feel, in the dark

You can crawl back to life

Here I am, not alone, won't you

Cling, grasp, and taste

Hold me close and never waste

Any words, any time, any love on your mind

Stop, write this down, I remember it all now

I was young, bored, and free

Scared of you, scared of me

But no more
