P.S. Eliot - Dark lyrics

I've been talking
My brain's been absent from the start
It's warm and this is new
It's a plague on my withheld affection
When it gets dark, dark, dark

I'm lying alone
Modesty tries our subversive speech
Ill at ease in the same boat as you
But, you feel so out of reach
And it's so dark, dark, dark
This buffer I've built up
Is growing resoundingly lax
I should learn how to look at you
And you should learn how to relax

This buffer I've built up
Is growing resoundingly lax
I should learn how to look at you
And you should learn how to relax

I've been thinking
This distance doesn't mean anything
There's a reason I am rapt assigned
To every mile in between
