Not coterminous

NOT COTERMINOUS (D G D G B D, capo 4)

We must look ridiculous from outer space. They must be laughing at us.

We must not run too fast or try to take too much. There’s not enough of us.

There’s not enough space in here. We’ve been forgotten about. We have to find our own way out.

 

Not coterminous. Not needing to be. Maybe in another universe.

Not so different to ours. Not so far away. Not so heavy and not so weird.

I can’t save anyone. I wouldn’t know where to start. I wish I’d known it all along.

 

I’m sure of it now: I am the only one who won’t let me down.
