If I had you, that's all I'd need.
If I had you that's all I'd need.
If you had me, you've had me since
the start. Thou art
eternity
Am I glad you are so happy!
Am I glad you are so happy!
If you had me, you've had me since
the start. Thou art
recording me
Since childhood
dials on
devices and vocotrons
boombox kids
walkman lids
snap shut
o'er compact discs.
Since childhood
miles of
tape we had recorded on
stop and sit
then loop it
living on these layers
If I had you, that's all I'd need.
If I had you that's all I'd need.
If you had me, you've had me since
the start. Thou art
eternity
Am I glad you are so happy!
Am I glad you are so happy!
If you had me, you've had me since
the start. Thou art
recording me
Since I've been out
you changed routes
I've heard many
foreign shouts
don't know how
I have changed
yet cuz I'm so far away
Flying far
Shooting stars
I'm not sad like was befarr
Stop and sit
then loop it
living on these layers
On these layers and layers and layers of media
On these layers and layers and layers of media
The Prophet McLuhan said it right before any of our times
We live on layers and layers and layers of media
If I had you, that's all I'd need.
If I had you that's all I'd need.
If you had me, you've had me since
the start. Thou art
eternity

O love ultimately exists inside.
Even if outside seems like it died
You know love ultimately exists inside.
Even if your eyes show different sights.
Do you still feel sad about, still feel sad about,
still feel bad about anything that I'm glad about?
Still feel broken or woken up from the dead?
Still feel pretty or wish that you had no friends?
Still feel shitty or littered with different trends?
Still wear glitter on eyes and lashes
I’m out of fashion
Worse for the wear and wearing worse as it all happens.
Do you still feel like yourself?
O love ultimately exists inside.
Even if outside seems like it died
You know love ultimately exists inside.
Even if your eyes show different sights.
O love ultimately exists inside.
Even if outside seems like it died
You know love ultimately exists inside.
Even if your eyes show different sights.
Sights.
Do you still feel?
Do you still feel?
Do you still feel?
Do you still feel bad about
the curses we made in the dark of day and the light of the nightingale's flight
we wailed
like bats out of heaven
some flew and some levers were pulled
that won't go back again
but my love for you grows like the darkness of night when the sun leaves the sky and yet also
my love for you grows like the light of the sun once it rises back over horizon's edge why don't you come over here to my life without borders i'll love you abnormally just like you need, won't you come to my world tour, my love without order my chaotic reverie you'd be my queen but you already are and you know that you are
O love ultimately exists inside.
Even if outside seems like it died
You know love ultimately exists inside.
Even if your eyes show different sights.
Do you still feel sad about, still feel sad about,

So
Were you a witch or was it just a trend?
Was I a witch or was it just pretend?
Did you insist on making bitter ends?
Did I persist in losing all my friends?
Were you a ghost or was it me for real?
Was I supposed to flee the scene and feel?
Never at home in my hometown?
Only thing I miss is you now.

Only, only
staying still
when the ocean dreams have killed.
and drowned me in another lull
I’m lost with you
I can’t see through
Only, only
I have learned
to move much better across the earth
you drowned me once
but now I just
drink saltwater
and stay in love
I’m learning to get better through this
today seems like tomorrow did.
I have gotten so much better
Life has gotten beautiful
I’m learning to get better through this
today seems like tomorrow did.
I have gotten so much better
Life has gotten grand
Only, only
staying still
when the ocean dreams have killed.
and drowned me in another lull
I’m lost with you
I can’t see through
Only, only
I have learned
to move much better across the earth
you drowned me once
but now I just
drink saltwater
