Facts for a Moment (What You Are to Me)

from Spanish Armada (Songs of Love and Related Neuroses) by Mark Lint

/

about

Written 11/90, recorded 2/92.

A song about co-dependence, written in college while in my first real relationship. Kind of a creepy barbershop quartet.

lyrics

What you are to me
Is a slight pull on my forehead
A slight tension in my chest
A pressure on my neck
A lengthy but distracted rest

What you seem to be
Is a face that brings out tears
Hair that makes me choke
A tickle in my ears
Some ghost in my imagination
Made very very real
Something I can feel
Vaguely

What you and I should be
Standing up without support
Bound but not together
Free while still together
Bound but not forever
So much in one package
So much more to say

I love you
