Essentially
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ignore me sensually, I won't admit that they were right
Who was I to judge your brand of loneliness?
Who was I to think I was someone above desire?
Love me asexually, love me like someone else's wife
How is it you fall asleep so easy?
Who is it you're dreaming of tonight?
How, love me essentially
(Love, the thing that you can't buy)
Love me essentially
(Honey, do I fill up your time?)
Well, you got it all wrong in finding what you're after
When you've got it all wrong and can't find what you want
I lie awake to reach for the soft sound in the night
Try my best to swallow up the jealousy
Try to learn to fall hard back in love with all this and
Love you essentially
(Love, a thing that you can't buy)
Love you essentially
(Honey, do I fill up your time?)
When you've got it all wrong in finding what you're after
I got it all wrong, I don't know what I want
When you've got it all wrong and don't know what you're after
When you've got it all wrong if I found what you want
