Aching from Dysphoria by Edward Coles

I sit and watch the fruit wither away
In my indecision, in my fallow state.
I watched my youth come pass me by
Oh but not this time
Baby, will you be mine?

Long divorced from life, society,
Reality: a figment of my past.
Been married to uncertainty
Oh, but not this time
Baby, will you be mine?

'Cause I've been aching
'Cause I've been aching
All my life.

Well, I've been in love but not like this,
Yeah, my defences have all been compromised.
In this state, pain comes from stage right,
Oh, but not this time,
Baby, will you be mine?

'Cause I've been aching
'Cause I've been aching
To find one of my kind.

'Cause I've been aching
'Cause I've been aching
All my life.
