how i hated to pop the bubble 
of me and you 
i only have enough oxygen 
for a trip or two 
to the moon and back again 
tell me do you remember when 
our love had such grace 
we were floating above this old place 

it’s dawn on the corner 
where the city tests it’s squeaky brakes 
outside my bedroom window 
a doppler muffler and a booming bass 

it’s dawn and the snow is turning on it’s deepest blue 
so i go outside and stand there and look at my hands against the color 
i find i always return to 

i want you to always remember for me baby if you can 
how much you hated the woman who made you a man 
and remember for me won’t you back further before that 
how you loved her like a boy crying from the joy when you were laughing 

cuz i hated to pop the bubble 
of me and you 
i only have enough oxygen 
for a trip or two 
to the moon and back again 
tell me do you remember when 
our love had such grace 
we were floating above this old place 

so i hear these days you too are trying your hand at sleeplessness 
a couple more doppler lovers and then booming loneliness 
how innocent the young student on the day school has begun 
when i said this was what i wanted did you think i thought it would be fun 

but i hated to pop the bubble 
of me and you 
i only have enough oxygen 
for a trip or two 
to the moon and back again 
tell me do you remember when 
our love had such grace 
we were floating above this old place
