Five Moments Lyrics
Holding each other closely
Our lips are touching
My eyes are closed
I'm feeling you touch all the warm skin
You touch all the warm skin
As quickly we breathe
Slowly, slowly we are breathing
We’re not talking or moving
Our banter, our innermost feelings
Our innermost feelings
We’re talking softly
I am sleepy and in love so
As we lie side by side
Side by side
Our lips are touching
My eyes are closed
You touch all the warm skin
As quickly we breathe
We’re not talking or moving
Our innermost feelings
We’re talking softly
As we lie side by side
Side by side

I spent a few hours on headphones and think I finally figured this one out, very hard due to all the echo, and added the lyric to the site.
I believe the "five moments" relate to the five stanzas of the lyric, representing various stages pre-, during, then after making love. Thus, the breathing 'quickly' with 'warm skin' is followed by slower breathing as sleep eventually approaches.
A much-loved tune by the Field Mice, but perhaps underrated given how hard the lyric is to discern.
