Ion Square
Bloc Party Lyrics

Ion square, perspex swings
We are surrounded by modernity and coldness, yet we still swing back and forth in a dance, like children on a playground.

I breathe out, you breathe in
We are so in sync that our breathing patterns have become intertwined.

Permanent midnight
Our love is like an unending night, enshrouding us in mystery and depth.

Our love, our love
Our bond is sacred, something that we cherish and hold dear.

How we've come to depend
We have grown to rely on each other completely, needing one another to navigate life.

On each other to the end
We know that no matter what happens, we will always be by each other's side until the very end.

The space between us has disappeared
We are so close that there is no longer any distance between us, we are one entity.

You finish my, you finish my words for me
Our communication is so intuitive that we often complete each other's sentences without even realizing it.

I remember how it began
We recall the beginning of our relationship with fondness and nostalgia.

So many great days in a row
We experienced a string of wonderful moments, one after the other.

Barefoot on Bishopsgate
We were carefree and uninhibited, walking about with no shoes on in a bustling London street.

Trying to find Blake's grave
We were on a mission, seeking out the final resting place of the famed poet William Blake.

If we could stay like this in a silver foil
We wish we could preserve this moment in time, our love sealed away like a precious artifact.

Trapped in amber for a life
Our love would be like a fossil, frozen and eternal for generations to witness.

[Chorus] I carry your heart here with me
We have each other's hearts in our possession, to hold and to cherish.

Who said unbroken happiness
Society often defines happiness in a very specific way, but we know better than to believe in those narrow definitions.

Is a bore, is a bore?
Who is to say that happiness is boring? Life is full of surprises and twists, even in the happiest moments.

Who said it, my love? I don't mind it
We know that true happiness cannot be defined by others, and we are content in our own way.

Anymore, anymore
We've outgrown these societal norms and have found our own path to happiness.

And I reach out a hand over your side of the bed
Even in the quiet moments of the night, we reach out for each other, our love never dimming.

Pull that blanket over your shoulders exposed to the night
We take care of each other, making sure that the other is always warm and protected.

And the hunger of those early years will never return
We may not feel the same fiery passion of new love, but our love has transformed into something deeper and more profound.

But I don't mind, I don't mind
We are content and at peace with our evolution, knowing that our love will only continue to grow and mature with time.

Cause I love my mind when I'm fucking you
Our sexual intimacy is not just physical, it's also emotional and cerebral, deepening our connection even further.

Slowed down to a crawl
We are taking it easy, enjoying each other's company in a moment of calm and stillness.

Years of crime and the bread line
Our past struggles and hardships have only made us stronger and more resilient, bringing us closer together.

Have not at all dimmed your shine
We continue to shine brightly, even in the face of adversity, giving us hope and perseverance.

So let's stay in, let the sofa be our car
We don't need anything fancy, we have each other's company and that's all that matters.

Let's stay in, let the TV be our stars
Our love is enough, we don't require any external stimulation or entertainment.

I found my dancing shoes but they don't fit
We have outgrown the expectations of traditional romance and have found our own unique way to express our love.

All the bright lights do is bore me
We find beauty in simplicity, we don't need glitz and glamour to feel fulfilled.

[Chorus] I carry your heart with me
We will always carry each other's hearts with us, no matter where life takes us.
