Lost in a "U"

without help from the stars 

we drive this carcass so far 

until we nearly stall 

just pulled back from it all 

 

lost in a you 

what can we do 

with just this one 

outside world 

 

you say it’s not my fault 

asking for my pin numbers 

I’ve cut all my cards 

let’s sing for our suppers 

 

lost in a you 

with me, too 

things that go down 

must soon come up 

 

can’t get back home 

forward is all we know 

winds starting to blow 

we sail rather than walk
