Square |
| Your room was square |
| I once noticed from there |
| In your bed, as you slept |
| And I held my breath |
| Everything had its own place |
| And I wondered what space would I take |
| In the order you kept |
| I tried to eat like your girlfriend |
| Just tea, in the night I’d end up |
| Too hungry to sleep |
| So lying awake, I would follow the aching inside |
| I would find |
| It’s for you won’t be mine |
| I tried my hardest, for I’d never learned |
| God’s very simple and love shouldn’t burn |
| And I would’ve offered you all that you yearned for |
| But I was still waiting for something to earn |
| What is that quiet of snow in the night? |
| The dark rings with white noise |
| As you stand and drown |
| Maybe it’s all of these snowflakes, screaming |
| A choir of mute |
| As they brace for the ground |
| Well, that’s my ride |
| Hope you had a good night |
| You know, you made me happy |
| Here, shake my hand |
| You make such a good man |
| Never once did you know me |
| I tried my hardest, for how do you learn |
| God’s very simple and love doesn’t burn |
| And maybe you’d offered me all that I yearned for |
| But I was still waiting for something to earn |
| Silly me, waiting |
