Intimacy

lyrics

Your fire burns warmest in Winter
When I'm standing outside
My fists bunched in my coat
I went walking a half-mile or so
Then returned, my shoes heavy with dirt
And the rain pounded the back yard all night
Patience like this don't come easily
Waiting for hours in the October cold
An orange light glows from your window
A beacon to welcome me in
And the night
The night can't come soon enough
The night will come soon enough

If you had shown me the love I deserve
You know that I wouldn't be making it hurt
There's difficult moments at first
But I have rehearsed every second of this in my mind
When you've admitted that it's for the best
You'll feel the beauty I've made in my head
To see us together in death

Open your mail on the front porch
Mornings are nothing but coffee and smoke
The flowers I sent you have died on their stem
And they're drying to nothing
You don't care
Cause you don't know who sent them
It's nothing like love on the TV
The movies all got it pathetically wrong
Love isn't timid attraction
Or afternoon walks in the park
Love is pain
It's committment and sacrifice
It's devoting your life
But you have confirmed my suspicions
I always thought you might not understand
I hoped I'd see love in your eyes but instead
It's revulsion and fear
It's okay
But I have a plan
I have a plan

If you had shown me the love I deserve
You know that I wouldn't be making it hurt
There's difficult moments at first
But I have rehearsed every second of this in my mind
When you've admitted that it's for the best
You'll feel the beauty I've made in my head
To see us together in death
