| These lyrics are wrong, it should be: All of us now bent as we fall To amorous light we call out Why are we so alone Even with company? If not the moon will us guide Will then the street light? All of us now breathe it like smoke To know what it’s like Breathing to choke Well, for nine days A small moth has tried to escape Our bedroom Why are we so alone Even with company? We are the prey For each day a striking distance Why are we so alone Even with company? If not the moon will us guide Will then the street light? Why are we so alone Even with company? We are the prey For each day a striking distance | |

| Wow i dont think this song is anywhere near one of my favourite Mew songs but the lyrics are amazingly touching ... I think this song might be about someone who is so in love with someone else that even when they are with them they miss them. Thats what im getting from it | |

| "Why are we so alone? Even with company" To me, it's a song about feeling lost and vulnerable, and "If not the moon will us guide, will then the streetlight?" is about desperately searching for someone to help you through, and jumping from person to person to help you on your way. | |
