I know you want it
But you're haunted
Talking to a shapeless heart it
Leaves you parted
Once you start it
Gets too hard to
Separate it from you
Now you're falling
And you're all in
Ain't nobody hears you bawling
While your broken
Body's crawling
To the river that is calling
Out to you
Pray Love would find another way
Say it came here yesterday
Oh, yesterday
This time of day
And I could say
If I let go
Of this ego
I'm a seagull
I'm the wind flow
But I can't go
I need echoes
To the confines
Of myself so
On we go
I know you want it
Really hard and
So you're bound to
Get your heart in
To a loss of having found it
It is nothing
You found nothing
Not a void
But really nothing
Like a substance
Like a something
It is frothing like a fountain
And is tugging at your heartstring
Pulling you
And so you're haunted
By this valve that
You evolved in
To a love on
To a river that dissolves
All your resolve and
All your self from you
Pray Love would find another way
Say it came here yesterday
Oh, yesterday
This time of day
And I could say
If I let go
Of this ego
I'm a seagull
I'm the wind flow
But I can't go
I need echoes
To the confines
Of my self so
All we are
Is just sonar
We are constructs
That can't go far
'Cause we are so confined
We signal the outside
It bounces back inside
And triggers a landslide
Of me understanding myself by
Reflections of all my projectiles
I know that you cannot relate I
Just think of love that way
Say Love would come another day
Say Love would find another way
Oh, yesterday
I said yesterday
I say
I say
I say
But you're haunted
Talking to a shapeless heart it
Leaves you parted
Once you start it
Gets too hard to
Separate it from you
Now you're falling
And you're all in
Ain't nobody hears you bawling
While your broken
Body's crawling
To the river that is calling
Out to you
Pray Love would find another way
Say it came here yesterday
Oh, yesterday
This time of day
And I could say
If I let go
Of this ego

I'm surprised that Asaf Avidan has made his RP debut (is it his debut?) this "late" given the fact that many (other) niche singers are broadcasted here & Asaf has been around the international music scene for 10+ years. This is (by far) not my favourite song of his, but it is still musically good. Check out other songs of his, like Different Pulses or Lost Horse which are much more palatable and more emotionally moving :).

But I find it alright.
