The Chemicals Between Us
Bush Lyrics

I want you to remember
I want you to hold onto the memory of us and our all-encompassing love.

A love so full it could send us all ways
Our love was so powerful it could have taken us in any direction, like a force of nature.

I want you to surrender
I want you to give yourself over completely to our love.

All my feelings rose today
I am feeling a strong surge of emotion right now.

And I want you to remain
I want you to stay with me and keep our love strong.

The power of children can amaze
Kids have an incredible ability to surprise and inspire us.

I'll try not to complain
I won't whine or gripe, even when things get tough.

I know that's a pisser baby
I realize it's a tough ask, but I'm hoping you'll understand.

The chemicals between us
There's a strong, almost tangible connection between us.

The walls that lie between us
Whatever's dividing us, be it emotional or physical, it's hard to overcome.

Lying in this bed
Right now, we're in the same bed, but still feel disconnected.

The chemicals displaced
Our chemistry is off or altered, leading to a sense of disharmony.

There is no lonelier place
Despite being physically together, the emotional gap between us is making us feel incredibly alone.

Everything you said
I'm holding on to every word you've said to me, even if it's hurtful or challenging.

Every driven word
Your passionate and forceful language has really resonated with me.

Like a hammer, held, to my head
Your words have had a powerful impact on me, causing a headache or discomfort.

We're of the hollow men
We feel empty or phony, like we're not fully living up to our potential.

We are the naked ones
We are exposed and vulnerable, with no armor or protection.

We never meant you harm
Despite any hurt or tension between us, we never intended to cause pain or injury.

Never meant you wrong
We didn't set out to cause damage, we just misunderstood or made mistakes.

I'd like to thank
I want to acknowledge and express gratitude to...

All of my lovers, lovers, lovers
Every person who's ever given me love, passion or connection in their own way.

The army of achievers
The people in the world who work hard and succeed in their endeavors.

There is no lonelier face
Even when surrounded by others, feeling disconnected and lost can make us feel incredibly alone.

The chemicals
Our emotional and physical chemistry, which can bring us together or keep us apart.
