Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We were trying

Well we're trying no more

It's cold on the floor

Cold on the floor

This house has never been the same as before

It's never felt warm

Never felt warm

[Verse 2]

There's something moving through the windows and walls

I've seen it before

Seen it before

You left me living with a lingering soul

How little you know

How little you know

[Verse 3]

We were standing at the foot of a path

I had to go back

I had to go back

I chose to travel as a lonely man

So much that I lacked

So much that I lacked

[Verse 4]

I'm always wishing I was walking that road

Something I hope

Something I hope

I take it with me all the places I go

How little you know

How little you know

[Chorus]

I only eat to fill me up

I only sleep to rest

I need a love just like you gave

I haven't found it yet

Found it yet

[Verse 5]

See where I am is where I'm wanting to be

I know what I need

Know what I need

And there are many different places to see

I know how to dream

Know how to dream

[Verse 6]

Still there's a wound and I'm moving slow

Though it don't show

Though it don't show

I've got a hole where nothing grows

How little you know

How little you know

[Chorus]

I only eat to fill me up

I only sleep to rest

I need a love just like you gave

I haven't found it yet

Found it yet

[Verse 7]

Maybe we'd marry and we'd work it out fine

In some other time

In some other time

And we are happy when I'm walking that line

It's all in my mind

All in my mind

[Verse 8]

I paint the ceiling so that nobody knows

I cover it slow

Cover it slow

It's like you've never even met me before

How little I show

How little I show

[Outro]

How little I show

Little I show
