Elbow

I'm stopping by your place of work
And acting likeI haven't dreamed of you and I
And marriageIn an orange grove
You are the only thing in any room you're ever in

I sat you down and told you
How the truest love that's ever found is for oneself
You pulled apart my theory
With a weary and disinterested sigh

So yes I guessI'm asking you
To back a horse that's good for glue and nothing else
But find a man that's truer
Find a man that needs you more than I

Sit with me a while
And let me listen to you talk about your dreams and your obsessions
I'll be quiet and confessional
When I meet your eyes
I'm spinning
And I'm diving
Like a cloud of starlings
Darling is this love?
