Telepathy

Emiliana Torrini


Think of me very scientifically 
Share your thoughts with me 
Send them over land and see 

They seep through walls 
Echo down abandoned halls 
Let me see your joy and fear 

How can it be we never see 
What we have until it's gone 
Why is it so we never know 
What we have until it's gone 

The more I try, all the faster you'll slip by 
So vaporize 
Slide to me like liquid ice 
I can see into your eyes 

Why is it so we never know 
What we have until it's gone 
Until we burn we never learn 
What we have until it's gone 

Scientifically 
Scientifically 

I can see into your eyes 
The deepest blue of winter skies 

Why is it so we never know 
What we have until it's gone 
Until we burn we never learn 
What we have until it's gone
