The world is closing in again on me tonight
I can see it's gonna be a long way to the morning light
I'm not tryna lay some heavy trip on you
As some folks say I tend to do
I forget myself, as I do

The world keeps telling me
That I don't need to be with anybody
I am all I need unto myself
I think they have been misinformed
Their formulas won't weather storms
The zeitgeist fruit is full of worms
And in the end I know that I needed you

The way you move around in this world
Makes it so that I
Can navigate the dark and recesses
Of my bewildered mind
I've had to up my game
Emotionally speaking
But I'd be hard pressed to say
That has not come in quite handy

For it makes it possible
For me to understand you
In a way that I had not done
Here to for
Barbara says I'm going too fast
I'm just afraid that this won't last
I feel that it is my main task
To make sure that you know that I love you

The world is closing in again on me tonight
I can see it's gonna be a long way to the morning light
