Momus - Details lyrics

Look after your eyes
They're important, your eyes
Take care how you breathe when
There's too much pollution
I always check up on the
Air before you go out
And if you walk amongst cars
I hope you don't walk with
An air of abstraction
Although that was always a part
Of my attraction to you

Love is a question of details
I'm always trying to stay one
Step ahead of your needs
And if that makes me clumsy sometimes
Or nag you sometimes
It's just that these details can
Be overwhelming for me

So where are you now? I'm glad I don't know
Because if I knew I would probably worry
I'd pace up and down and I'd
Never be able to sleep
But, I hope you're okay
And I hope that you realise
How deeply I love you
I give you the trust and the space
To get on with your life

Love is a question of details
I stop myself trying to stay one
Step ahead of your needs
And if that makes me clumsy sometimes
Or nag you sometimes
It's just that these details can
Be overwhelming for me
