lyrics

You say the Berlin Wall came down by human hands
And time will turn the pyramids to sand
If you think I'm like that then stay awhile
You think you can move me, then try

How much did you invest in me?
And what did you expect from me?

How patiently will you
Give everything?
And what would you trade
To fit- to fit with me?
Will you cut your edges
And try be a better shape?
Will you take yourself apart
To fit?

Nothing fits like nothing

Two strangers move like newly weds
Two months ago he'd dream of this
And two ways to make her shameless
Too much of them, away from this

And you, and everyone
And you, and everyone

One climbs up to his golden chair
One jails away what makes him scared
And one secretly always compares
Himself to the soil, sea, and air

And you, and everyone
And you, and everyone

I'll push 'till everybody pulls away
I'll sing of solitude and open space
And maybe open up my circuitry
And pull free from these tangling memories
And you'd plead that all this comes unhealthily
But tell me how each other's company
Can be
Enough for you
And keep
Your head in tune

No one fits like no one
