lyrics

Nearly lovingly, you turn to me
And say carefully that you cared for me
Nothing hurts me quite like hearing
That you’re sorry, nearly lovingly

Close to carefully, I drive separately
You chase after me, lagging heavily
Life is loneliness, joy is carelessness
Hope is happiness, love is paradox
For you did care for me, quickly, quietly
We hoped carelessly, far too generously
Then, clearly hopelessly, you breathed into me
I hope for you now close to constantly

Almost willingly I’ll go quietly
Close to hopefully you ask how I’ve been
Nothing’s hurting me, I say say carefully
We drive separately, truly lovingly
