This song's for you...

Stars light the sky in a galaxy of emptiness tonight
Though I'm happiest when there's no reason for me to be
When no one's expectations weigh heavy on my heart
And so much hope it sometimes tears me all apart

Could you please knock me off my feet, for a while?
Could you please knock me off my feet, for a while?

Cos there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole galaxy of emptiness tonight
There's a galaxy of emptiness...
A whole galaxy of emptiness...

Stars light the sky in a gutter full of of broken dreams tonight
Though I'm not content that's the way it seems to be
Still I've been fightin' all week though I don't know what for
Hopin' someone else, someone near knows the score

Could you please knock me off my feet, for a while?
Could you please knock me off my feet, for a while?

And there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole galaxy of emptiness tonight
There's a galaxy of emptiness...
A whole galaxy of emptiness...

Monkey see, monkey do
I spent my whole life surrounded by people like you
With all that expectation to weigh heavy on your heart
You've no ideas to let it tear it all apart

Could you please knock me off my feet, for a while?
Could you please knock me off my feet, for a while?

Cause there's this galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight
There's this galaxy of emptiness...
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness...

Burn burn burn your soul to find
Burn burn burn your soul to find
Burn burn burn your soul away
Burn your soul to find... to find...
Burn to find...
Burn to find...

A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight
Yeah, there's a galaxy of emptiness...
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness...
A galaxy of emptiness...

~Beth Orton's Galaxy of Emptiness~


Yes, baby, I just wanted you to please knock me off my feet for awhile sometimes. :( Guess that was too much to ask for from you.
