Lautmusik - Jigsaw

When I first got a glimpse of you
Standing back against the wall
That indescribable look in your face
I sighed, and I knew that was no ordinary Monday

I never really wanted to settle down
And I guess this will never change
But no matter how fiercely I try to reassure you
What brings us together is still what tears us apart

You can't bear to be with me
And you can't bear to be without me
And so we're (hopelessly?)
Trapped somewhere inbetween

Floating weightless
Holding my breath until daylight hits
And my heart sinks
In anticipation of another goodbye

This minuet of ours has become so predictable
Is it for good this time?
For the sake of everything we did not choose to be
I need you to stay or let me go

You ruined my favorite record
I cannot listen to these tunes anymore
Without ringing every alarm in my head
What used to be fulfillment
Is now a longing, yearning, memory
Of bubble-bath-candy-joy
