about

This was about a girlfriend I was breaking up with. It's based on, of all things, a quote from Spock on an episode of Star Trek. The girlfriend in question loathed Star Trek, by the way.

*This wasn't on the original "Dreambeat" EP.

lyrics

The having
Is not as pleasurable
As the wanting
It’s not logical
But it’s so often true

So often true...

We’re lucky people
Not having what we wanted
And losing the pleasure
Of always being haunted

By what could have been...

You said you could feel yourself letting go
So I let the rope slip from my hand
Now no one’s pulling in this tug of war
It’s just a line drawn in the sand

Between the having and the wanting...
