Merge

MERGE

I come from you
‘cause we met on the day I was born
And your face a god-like sun, filling every hole with almighty glow
Oh, I followed you
‘cause I’d found a new religion
like a tongue-wagging acolyte
Then you kissed me and opened the door

Oh god, there’s something about you
The lines are erased, there’s something about you
The cells interchange, there’s something about you
And now, hey now now, something about you
If you’re ever gone, I’m nowhere without you
My light in the fog, I’m nowhere without you
I grope, never safe, never safe ‘cause you’re my sense of place, sense of place, sense of—

Oh, I believe we can merge into someone
Someone else, strong, complete
We can let ourselves into each other
No one satisfies my love
Can I know you’ll always be there?
We can merge the you and me
We can put our lonely lives together

Like rivers eat rivers, merge with me
Like air sticks to air, merge with me
Shall I wait for you?
Don’t make me wait
Oh, oh, my love

It’s time for you to accept making time for me
I don’t pick just anyone
Gods will come and go, but you’re post-divine
Oh, if anything, can you spare my desperate ego?
When you’re old, drinking tea alone, think of me and the chances of love

Oh god, there’s something about you
The lines are erased, there’s something about you
The cells interchange, there’s something about you
And now, hey now now, something about you
If you’re ever gone, I’m nowhere without you
My light in the fog, I’m nowhere without you
I grope, never safe never safe ‘cause you’re my sense of place, sense of place, sense of—

Oh, I believe we can merge into someone
Someone else, strong, complete
We can let ourselves into each other
No one satisfies my love
Can I know you’ll always be there?
We can merge the you and me
We can put our lonely lives together

Lost without you, lost without you
The heart is a hungry ghost without you
Lost without you, nowhere without you
No—nowhere without you
Lost without you, lost without you
The heart is a hungry ghost without you
Lost without you, nowhere without you
No—nowhere without you
