Cursed with a love that you can't express
It's not for a fuck, or a kiss
Rather give the world away than wake up lonely
Everywhere and every way I see you with me

Crowd surf off a cliff
Land out on the ice
Crowd surf off to sea
Float towards the beach

If you find me, hide me, I don't know where I've been

Are we breathing? Are we wasting our breath?
It won't be enough to be rich
All the babies tucked away in their beds
We're out here screaming
The life that you thought through is gone
Can't want out, the ending outlasting the mood
I wake up lonely

If you find me, hide me, I don't know where I've been
When you phone me tell me everything I did
If I'm sorry you lost me you'd better make it quick
Cause this call costs a fortune and it's late where you live

Rather give the world away than wake up lonely
Everywhere and every way I see you with me
All the babies tucked away in their beds
We're out here screaming
The life that you thought through is gone
Can't want out, the ending outlasting the mood
I wake up lonely

    Yes it seems very simple, that the ideal life that she used to think she'd live-fall in love, move in together, marry, have kids-is fractured by the distance.

    I think she feels very disconnected to the possibility of having a family and a solid relationship by her chaotic lifestyle, but she can't quite leave her career yet.
