You came into my life
Like the changing of the season
And suddenly the sky was a well
You leaned in and whispered
And I saw the future between us
But I try to stop ringing that bell
Long enough to stay focused
On the stone you placed into my palms
The raw treasure
When I felt your body and my body rise up together
It all slipped into legend
My eyes said forever
But you said
Don't you ever
Don't you ever
Don't you ever
Don't, don't you ever
Need me

Years passed, fears pressed weird shapes into blurred glass
Words last days, but the days don't last
And our tongues are too burnt to taste
And so we cruise
Smooth as a high-heeled shoe on an old car bonnet
The urge to merge was huge
I don't know when it became I just want what you want
But I closed my eyes subdued
And I went deep, deep into endless sleep
My limbs yours, and your limbs stuck
I'd always promised I'd keep my own compass
It felt good to give up
Don't you ever
Don't you ever
Don't you ever
Don't, don't you ever
Need me
♪
Don't you ever
Don't you ever
Don't you ever
Don't, don't you ever
Need me

So be free as you want you to be
Free from the magnet, the dragnet
The dull need that stagnates free as I never could be
You're still curled up with me
Like what? This does not cancel all that out
Trust, looking for shining examples
I'm finding them harmful and nothing like us
I'm trying to lift us both up
With my arms full of all of our stuff
Like, will you jump every time push comes to shove?
You say love me, don't need me
I say I want that too, but it feels like you don't need me enough
Why?
Don't you ever
Don't you ever
Don't you ever
Don't, don't you ever
Need me
Why?
Don't you ever
Don't, don't you ever
Don't you ever
Don't, don't you ever
Need me
