Distance makes the heart dissolve
Like little pills cloud water
Dissolving inch by inch
Separating a fraction further
You helped to shape this space
We'd gaze at dancers
The view it fluctuates

Flattened bodies [thrown] on the floor
Within a rectangle of cool green light
We watch them in the warm
And breathe beside each other

The stars are landmarks and we don't use them
The stars are landmarks
You can't [sweep from] them

I wish this was an endurance test but there are no limits
I sent a letter to my own address while you lived in it
You used to drink from that glass decorated in Scandinavia
You nearly ironed me out and now I've changed by behaviour

This morning I saw a blue metal star
I was on tiptoes high above the back yard
Competing with the real thing
It ends [with] dominating

The stars are landmarks and we don't use them
The stars are landmarks
You can't [sweep from] them

Everyone's got their own idea
Utopia and why we're here

The stars are landmarks and we don't use them
The stars are landmarks
You can't [sweep from] them

The stars are landmarks
They have no function
