And I, I called through the air that night
I can't see your voice in that light
I could only smile, I've been alone some time
And all, and all, it's been fine
And you, you had hope for me now
I danced all around it somehow
Be fair to me, I may drift a while
Were it up to me, you know I'd
I, I called through the air at night
With thoughts still buried/blurry inside
Was it infantile, that which he desired/desires
Were it up to me, pull the wool from your eyes
And I, I called through the air that night
My thoughts were still buried/blurry inside
We were closer then, I've been alone some time
Filled you glass with gin
Filled your heart with pride
And you, you had hope for me now
I danced all around it somehow
Be fair to me, I may drift a while
If there's a plan for me
Would it make you smile?
No, I don't want to be there/here for no one
I can be
No, I don't want to be there/here for no one
Its only safe
*Favorite line in this song is the bit about "pulling the wool from your eyes". A very beautiful way of saying he just wants to wake up beside her & pull the bed sheet from her face.
pulling the wool from someone's eyes also means revealing the truth to them, but it could mean an actual blanket... but I think it probably is deeper than that :P
