If I could give you forever,
I'd love to give you forever
But I cannot give you forever;
No one can
And if I could tell you your purpose,
I'd love to tell you your purpose
But I cannot give you your purpose;
I'm just a man
No stars, no moon, no sun
No empty void to bow to anyone
All that I have
Is this beat inside my chest;
I cannot give you the rest
If I could answer your questions,
I'd gladly answer your questions
But I cannot answer your questions,
On my own
And if I could swallow your sadness,
Fill all your long days with gladness
Oh I would, but to ask would be madness,
We are alone
No moon, no sun, no stars
No springtime spent on Jupiter and Mars
All that I have,
Is this scrabbled life to live
What more would you have to give
No promises
No final ring
'Cause every promise made
Is a truth that must be pain
And you don't undig everything
No sun, no stars, no moon
No humming words,
No sentimental tune
All that I want,
Is this beat inside your chest
To pass, so you can do
To spend a fraction of this
Disappearing night
With you
But no stars
No moon
No sun
