Mamihlapinatapai Lyrics

She wants to rearrange

All the waves

To wash over me instead

She doesn't know I'm drowning, dying

To say everything she wished she said

We pass the time

Just as polite as you could be

You're afraid

I'm too resistant

To settle the friction underneath

She wants to rearrange

All the waves

To wash over me instead

She doesn't know I'm drowning, dying

To say everything she wished she said

We pass the time

Tearing each other limb from limb

But just in our minds

Cause I can't see the signs you're leaving

And you don't want to overanalyze mine

When I'm alone

Your ghost lights up the coals

And runs cold

Under my skin

And my hold over you is toxic

You dance along beside me from within

How much longer can we play the game

I'll take the first step

If you feel the same

I'll take the first step

If I can rearrange those waves

I want to rearrange all the waves

To wash over her instead

I don't know that she's drowning, dying

To say everything I wished I said

I was lost and believed

No space could have

Been rendered in the sad expanse for me

You reach out and touch my center

Not sure how you just

Pulled me out of a dark depth now
