i totally understand
when you talk about that moment
it�s a lot more important
than sleep or food sometimes� 

why i stayed up 'til 8 in the morning
for three days straight,
i had to get it just right� 
coffee, essays, drugtrips,
too many late nights�

perfect moments come, and sleep be damned.
mind you wanted this too, and don�t deny it�
i don't think i'm any closer to the truth.
and i still want to not even have to explain it to you...

i think i would marry you
tigers in Edgartown, I�d be there too
though sometimes you have a secret wish
you told me you wanted
to be completely oblivious

i did not see the ocean �til 1998
long before I met you
we would have to wait
calm in the clouds
displace all my fear
whisper those mindlessphilosophuckwords in my ear�

perfect moments come, and sleep be damned.
i know you wanted this too, and don�t deny it�
i don't think i'm any closer to the truth.
and i still want to not even have to explain it to you...
