Ending the evening low

Still in the silent flow

Farther down you'll reach

To keep a piece of me

Smiles are simple things

Borrowed from broken dreams

And laughter found by chance

And restless circumstance, so we laughed

This started far detached from me

Til slowly I begin to see

That you don't need me

It's such a relief, but such a scare

That I could leave, if only I dare

Cause you don't need me at all

Collapsed in our cool we drive

The passion of passing miles

Aimlessly content

With shallow sentiment

Melting our minds with words

Beautifully bent what's heard

To find where we relate

Relating what we find, burning time

This started far detached from me

Until I slowly see

That you don't need me

You were my burden, you were my muse

And such a charmimg thing to lose

Cause you don't need me at all

This is the way we communicate

Me with a song and you with silence

This is the way we'll disintegrate

And become strangers masquerading as friends

Go on, get out, and get on with your life

Go ahead and be his wife

It's fine, it's cool, it's all for the best

But dream of me, northwest
