Happy To Be Numb

(album: The Nervous Mind Of Love - 2004)

You can say what you like to me
But I might just sit and smile
You can tell me about anything
And stay here for a while
You can talk like poetry
And whisper in my ear
You can say the prettiest thing
I could ever hear

And I could be on, the surface of the sun
I could be on, the barrel of a gun
I could be on, the bottom of a ton
I still think, I wouldn't feel a thing without you

So you are looking so honest
With the wind all in your hair
Just smiling at the ceiling
You innocently stare
And I can say that you're everything
I conjured in my dreams
Cause nothing in reality
Can be this real, it seems

And I could be on, the surface of the sun
I could be on, the barrel of a gun
I could be on, the bottom of a ton
I still think, I wouldn't feel a thing without you

I'm so happy to be numb
To everything but your feelings and touch
Baby, I'm so perfectly undone
So don't you wise me up. Yeah, yeah

So you can say what you like to me
But I might just sit and smile
You can do about anything
And stay here for a while
We can watch the clouds gently
Drift across the sky
Seeing all those elephants
And turtles pass us by

And I could be on, the sun
Seeing you're the one
And you know I need you here
You know I need you here
My love, I'm so happy to be numb
To everything but your feelings and touch
