I can't breathe or be still
Neither feel cold nor the thrill
While you close, one by one
All the doors with this silence
When you get this close to me
You take the words out of me
You give me poetry for my hunger
You give me pain to make me stronger

I don't feel so strong
I speak and it all goes wrong
I can't find your happy song

You're talking to yourself again
You're thinking about everything
It's all the same, the world you change
Stops when you fall asleep

The street's like a river baby
Everyone's got a sea to find
So you're lost, it's too fast for you
Let it go, it comes back for you
And ordinary life comes easy
Ordinary life comes easy

When you get this close to me
You take the words out of me
You give me poetry for my hunger
You give me pain to make me stronger
