[Verse 1]
The world is closing in again on me tonight
And I can see it's gonna be a long way to the morning light
And I'm not tryin' to lay some heavy trip on you
As some folks say I tend to do
But I forget myself as I do do

[Verse 2]
The world keeps telling me that I don't need to be with anybody
I am all I need unto myself
I think they have been misinformed, their formulas won't weather storms
The zeitgeist fruit is full of worms
And in the end, I know that I need you

[Verse 3]
The way you move around in this world makes it so that I
Can navigate the darkened recesses of my beleaguered mind
I've had to up my game еmotionally speaking
But I'd be hard-pressеd to say
That that has not come in quite handy

[Verse 4]
For it makes it possible for me to understand you
In a way that I had not done heretofore
Barbara says I'm going too fast
I'm just afraid that this won't last
I feel that it is my main task
To make sure that you know that I love you
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
The world is closing in again on me tonight
I can see it's gonna be a long way to the morning light
