I could be sitting on top of the world
but then you would be sitting beneath me
I could be going with some other girl
but you wouldn't be able to see me
You could be sitting on top of the sky
like a mobile in a museum
You could be going with some other guy
but I know that you already see him
And I don't want to see and I don't want to know
That we're going too fast or that we're going too slow
And I don't want to hear and I don't want to say
That it's going to be fine, it'll all be okay
And I don't want to know and I don't want to see
What I think about you and what you think about me
And I don't want to talk and I don't want you any more
I could be living on top of the moon
if only they had running water
You could be living inside a balloon
but up in your head the air's hotter
I could be living on top of the roof
and at night I could practice astronomy
You could be living inside a B-2
and at night you could drop your bombs on me
I want you to want me to do what you want me to do
But if you don't want to be wanted then I won't want you
If that's what you want then I'll go and I'll want someone new
'Cause you know that I want to want you but I want to be wanted too
I could be someone that you've never met
and then I'd fall in love when you greet me
You could be living in eastern Tibet
but you wouldn't be able to meet me
So I'll just be someone that you used to see
and eventually you'll forget me
And I'll forget you the way you forgot me
or that is if my memories let me
And I don't want to see and I don't want to know
That we're going too fast or that we're going too slow
And I don't want to hear and I don't want to say
That it's going to be fine, it'll all be okay
And I don't want to know and I don't want to see
What I think about you and what you think about me
And I don't want to talk and I don't want to shout
'Cause there's nothing we've got that's worth talking about
And I don't want to try and I don't want you any more
