Minimal Affection
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.
In a world of minimal affection
Can you give yourself in a word
To a girl with a washed-out complexion
She's a mutual friend of ours
Anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone?
Is there anyone there?
You forget how to make a connection
And you've wanted one for so long
Moving on
You don't have a lot in common
When the world
If you don't even know my name
What a life if not for affection
Felt invisible, took too hard
Felt enough and drove to distraction
Is if everyone went away
Anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone?
Is there anyone there?
Fall back and into the quiet
Where I've wanted you for so long
Moving on
You don't have a lot in common
When the world
If you don't even know my name
How am I supposed to hear you calling
If I can't hear a word you say?
How am I supposed to hear you calling
If I can't hear a word you say?
Moving on
You don't have a lot in common
When the world
If you don't even know my name
How am I supposed to hear you calling
If I can't hear a word you say?
How am I supposed to hear you calling
If I can't hear a word you say?
