Lyrics

these words are fooling us
me with their writing
you with their reading
let us do away with them
and look into each other more easily

it seems like you’re over there
and i’m over here
but surely we are together
we can discover this
over and over
we forget and remember

where do we travel to
in between our words
is that the place where we are
the most together
where do we travel to
in between our thoughts
where we will be most likely
to find each other

you took a drink of me
you couldn’t speak
and then I could see you
I was so thirsty
to understand you
to be understood too

it’s hard to give up words
to trust the silent space we find here
would you remind me
if you find me lost in my fear
