lyrics

We're at cross seas
yea you and me
it's impractical to dream
in the wind from the west
and the current moving east

I'm as happy as
My least happy kid
I'm not happy about it, nor humiliated about it
We are together on this

Please be good to me
Yea save me from the useless nights

Sleeping in dreary places
I'm bored with being down
just listen, don't guess - please - alright

What am I for? Hey now?
to be just understood
jumping shadow to shadow, never eye to eye
in my neighbourhood

Everybody needs it
Needs to be understood
Whether we're jumping shadows
between the secret moon it's trying
and it's really, really, really, really good

Ah please be good to me
Yea please save me from the useless nights
