# 20

Såhär kan det också vara:

Is it enough to have some love
Small enough to slip inside a book
Small enough to cover with your hand
Because everyone around you wants to look.

Is it enough to have some love
Small enough to slip inside the cracks
The pieces don't fit together too good
With all the breaking and all the gluing back.

And I am still not getting what I want
I want to touch the back of your right arm
I wish you could remind me who I was
because everyday I'm a little further off.


But you are, my love, the astronaut
Flying in the face of science
I will gladly stay an afterthought
If you bring back some nice reminders.

And is it getting harder to pretend
That life goes on without you in the wake
And can you see the means without the ends
In the random, frantic actions that we take

And is it getting easy not to care
Despite the many rings around your name
It isn't funny and it isn't fair
You've traveled all this way and it's the same


And I would tell them anything to see you split the evening
But as you see I do not have an awful lot to say
Everybody's sick for something that they can find fascinating
Everyone but you, and even you aren't feeling well.

Yes, you are, my love, the astronaut
Crashing in the name of science
Just my luck, they sent your upper half
It's a very nice reminder

And you may be acquainted with the night
But I have seen the darkness in the day
And you must know it is a terrifying sight
Because you and I are living the same way.
