Love if you’re near
Don’t tell it like it is
‘Cause I don’t know how to hear
Or to learn
‘Cause I want to be in love
Without being loved in return
But hold me close
‘Cause I want to feel your fire
Like signals on the coast
And let it rage
Like the end of everything
In this epoch in this age
There is only you and me in this life
And I don’t want to fuck it up now
There is nothing for me in these past lives
There is only what I wasn’t yet
And if I made a mess of everything dear
By being scared of what you give me
I am sorry unequivocally
I just don’t know how to love
Let me leave
The part of me behind
That only wants to grieve
And in this light
I can see you as you are
In your frailty in your might
There is only you and me in this life
And I don’t wanna fuck it up now
There is nothing for me in these past lives
There is only what I wasn’t yet
And if I made a mess of everything dear
By being scared of what you give me
I am sorry unequivocally
I just don’t know how to love
