+| My head is [full of fire][], my tongue swollen,
+| pregnant with all the things I should've said
+| but didn't.  Last night, we met each other
+| in the dark, remember?  You told me time was
+
+| pregnant with all things.  I should've said
+| something, to draw you out from your place
+| in the dark.  Remember, you told me time was
+| only an illusion, [and memory was][] only
+
+| something to draw.  You, out from your place,
+| I out from mine, that night, I believed in you.
+| Only illusion and memory were one, lying
+| [down on your couch][], through the night you drew
+
+| me out from mine.  That night, I believed in you
+| when you told me you loved me.  I lay
+| down on your couch.  Through the night, you drew
+| a picture of our [future together][].
+
+| When you told me you loved me, I lied
+| [in the dark][].  Remember, you told me time was
+| [a picture of our future][] together.
+| My head is full of fire, [my tongue swollen][].
