Mewithoutyou Linear Lyrics

If you fail to see a problem, which I find hard to believe,
Or if you're hanging on from branches licking honey from the
leaves;
You say, "The hopelessness of living...and the childishness of
suicide!"
But there's a call to love my brother that can never be
destroyed.

However much you talk...however well you talk,
You make a certain sense, but it's still only stupid talk.
However much I strut around...however loud I sing,
The shining One inside me won't say anything.

Oh, to want one thing!
Oh, to want one thing!
(Oh, the purity of heart)
Oh, to want one thing!
Oh, to want one thing!

And you'll remind me how I said you were a quiet bed in all my
noise to rest...
Well, I was charming you at best.
Can you remember, dear, my saying how my coming here was a
terrible fall,
As we crept like thieves along your bedroom hall?
I'd come down and touch your eyelids, but if you stay up too
late
I'll throw you back into the cupboard with all the chipped and
dirty plates,
Like the carnival game with the bottleneck and rubber ring...
Where even if you win, even then you don't win.

(All I want is to want one thing....)
