[verse 1 - slow bass mantra, falsetto whispered, post-punk guitar tremolo pulsing lightly] Some of what we do, we do To make things happen every day The alarm to wake us up The coffee and the car that starts our way The rest of what we do, we do Trying to keep things from falling apart The skin from aging too fast The truth from breaking our heart [chorus - falsetto soaring, shoegaze wall of sound rises, angular guitars echo underneath] With yes and no like battery poles Powering our way through time We move forward, as we call it Wanting to be wanted, wanting to find Something real beyond this flesh Something more than just pretend We gaze across the breakfast table Hoping love will never end [verse 2 - bass groove slow and steady, post-punk guitar stabs cutting through haze] Wanting not to lose the rain forest Wanting water hot for tea Wanting not to have cancer Wanting to be home by three Wanting not to run out of gas On this highway made of days As each of us wants the other Watching when the light fades away [chorus - falsetto more urgent, shoegaze textures swell, guitars shimmer with delay] With yes and no like battery poles Powering our way through time We move forward, as we call it Wanting to be wanted, wanting to find Something real beyond this flesh Something more than just pretend We gaze across the breakfast table Hoping love will never end [bridge - tempo loosens into trip-hop beat, vocals whispered, bass submerged in smoke] Both want not to leave the other Standing here alone Wanting to love beyond this meat and bone Beyond this meat and bone As we sit here every morning Drinking coffee, reading news Pretending that we know the answers To the questions that we choose [final chorus - slow, massive shoegaze wall crashes in, falsetto layered with raw vocals] With yes and no like battery poles Powering our love through time We move forward, hand in hand Your heart beating close to mine Something real beyond this flesh Something more than just pretend We gaze across our breakfast table Where true love will never end Never end, never end Our love will never end [outro - bass riff fading slow, post-punk guitar harmonics dissolving into shoegaze haze] Never end… Our love will never end…
