'Cause I don't sleep like your body's on me
I won't feel right until we can be
Underneath everything that's between
Yeah
I'm undone about to burst at my seams
'Cause I am picturing you beside me
So let me be everything that you need
Yeah

'Ik ontdek dat afwezigheid een bepaalde consistentie heeft. Misschien die van het donkere water van een rivier, je zou zweren dat het olie is, waarin je spartelt en verdrinkt. Of anders een dichtheid, die van het donker, een onbepaalde ruimte waar je geen oriëntatiepunten hebt, waar je je kunt stoten, waar je naar licht zoekt, iets waaraan je je vast kunt klampen, iets om te leiden.
Maar afwezigheid is natuurlijk in de eerste plaats stilte, de stilte om je heen die op je schouders drukt, waarin je opspringt zodra er een onverwacht, niet thuis te brengen geluid of het rumoer van buiten te horen is'
