Please can you be close as you can be without touching
Because I wanna try to touch as little as goes by before I’m nothing
I swing north and back, your name I must untack from on my ceiling
So love me a bit but not enough to make me start feeling 

Only when I’m with somebody else do I feel all by myself
Only when I’m with somebody else do I feel all by myself 

And please can I scream loud as I can scream without speaking
Frozen lips, they feel like sinking ships once they start leaking
I try to be fine but water left on high will boil over
So let me set until my heart is tangled with the clover 

Only when I’m with somebody else do I feel all by myself
Only when I’m with somebody else do I feel all by myself
Myself 

I saved up all the letters never written
Soaked empty pages til the ink ran dry
Soon solitude was sweet as being forgiven
It’s better to say nothing than to lie 
It’s better to say nothing 

So please can you be close as you can be without my knowing
Knowing takes so long and when I know I will be gone without going
It’s better to break a heart that’s bound to ache and once it’s broken
I’ll cast it to sea, existing partially, forever floating 

Only when I’m with somebody else do I feel all by myself
Only when I’m with somebody else do I feel all by myself
Only when I’m with somebody else do I feel all by myself
​Only when I’m with somebody else do I feel all by myself
