歌词
First met you as a riddle I must crack
And I deliberately ignored all of your clues
Since then I've waited for the chance to win you back
You looked so good up on that pedestal
Baby, you were my lamented muse
You've familiarised all my excuses
You know that I'll eventually back out
The thought of me and you, girl
Just too good to be true, girl
It's better left in doubt
We're going nowhere, and it was going fine
But now it's over and I've lost track of time
I was never close enough to burn
Enough to feel the warmth you've shone
I could go on forever orbiting your sun
"Touching you is like touching the white hot face of the universe"
You said and left me reeling from this fever dreaming
It's quite familiar now, that sinking feeling
Your satellite has set its course for other galaxies
Still it keeps flitting through remorseful fantasies
And I'm left spinning round in your rotation
But I guess I never wanted to set a destination
We're going nowhere, and it was going fine
But now it's over and I've lost track of time
I was never close enough to burn
Enough to feel the warmth you've shone
I could go on forever orbiting your sun
And I wish you could have seen the silver lining
We were coming ever closer and never quite colliding
