Me And Us

We go to bed and you fall asleep, fall asleep, not me We go to bed and I lie awake, lie awake and Float out the window and down the street, over the bridge and Into the village for a little break from me, meaning us I float away and you disappear, disappear Some pretty young villager takes my hand and leads me to more Pretty young villagers forming a ring, forming a ring around A bonfire built on a line in the sand between me and us Am I lost, have I lost, have they thrown me on the fire There to dance in the flames, far enough from you to wonder If me still means us She leads me to the end of the night, a boyfriend of hers is there You're on his arm, but our eyes don't meet, our eyes don't meet cos We only have eyes for fueling the fire, being melted down and reformed In the image of wilder things, wilder things than us Are we lost, have we lost, have they thrown us on the fire There to dance in the flames, far enough from one another We fed them to the flames, but they're just getting colder and colder The boy's at least half again as selfish, and the girl's feeling a day Older per hour But there's no help for them now Because together looks good when you're alone looks good When you're together And it takes a village older and less inclined to say which is better to say Which would be better
