No souls

When I disappear,

And I can't see you

And you can't see me,

I don't know what I'll do.

No souls for me, no heavens.

 

When I die,

And I can't sleep in your arms

And you can't sleep in mine,

I don't know what I'll do.

No souls for me, no heavens.

 

When I was a child

And you were a child,

I wonder if we met

In the streets outside my grandfather's house.

I wonder if we played together and neither of us will ever remember.

And if I start to forget our stories from now,

I don't know what I'll do.

No souls for me, no heavens.

 

And if we start growing old

Like everybody else,

I don't know what I'll do.

No souls for me, no heavens.

I don't believe in souls, and I know that's a little sad.
