Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
(For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals)
(Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination)
(We learned to talk)
There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I sit in the corner
And no one can bother me
I think I should speak now (why won't you talk to me?)
I can't seem to speak now (you never talk to me)
My words won't come out right (what are you thinking?)
I feel like I'm drowning (what are you feeling?)
I'm feeling weak now (why won't you talk to me?)
But I can't show my weakness (you never talk to me)
I sometimes wonder (what are you thinking?)
Where do we go from here (what are you feeling?)
(It doesn't have to be like this)
(All we need to do is make sure we keep talking)
(Why won't you talk to me?) I feel like I'm drowning
(You never talk to me) you know I can't breathe now
(What are you thinking?) We're going nowhere
(What are you feeling?) We're going nowhere
(Why won't you talk to me?)
(You never talk to me)
(What are you thinking?)
(Where do we go from here?)
(It doesn't have to be like this)
(All we need to do is make sure we keep talking)

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
I like this song I mean the females aint supberb but they don't wreak it or anything. I haven't got lapse of Reason but from what I have heard of it from Echoes while it does talk about Water it doesn't seem to be slights at him it even seems like offering the olive brach sometimes. And really why is it that we have to either hate Water and love Gilmour or hate Gilmour and love Water because that seems to appear on every post Water song. Either Gilmour can't write lyrics or he writes them better than water it pointless he clearly can he proves it in songs like High Hopes and Learning to fly.
But then Water is great to. He took what Syd started and took it far. Why can't we love all Floyd from Syd to Gilmour because it all good. PS I like this song personally I didn't at first but it grew on me.
