This would not have happened
|
If I hadn’t missed my plane
|
I would've been there when they told you
|
I’m the Rat within the grain
|
|
Within this big misunderstanding now
|
and I’m being misunderstood
|
I'm thinking someone's trying to fuck with me
|
And set fire to my wood
|
|
I wouldn’t want you to want
|
To be wanted by me
|
I wouldn’t want you to worry
|
That You'd be drowned within my sea
|
I only wanted to be wonderful
|
And wonderful is true
|
In truth I only really wanted
|
To be wanted by you
|
|
It’s a stupid situation now
|
Where everything goes wrong
|
If you can't tell if I’m lying
|
Then you do not belong
|
|
In my bed
|
Go rest your head
|
Upon the bones of a bigger man
|
He can cover you with rock wool
|
And you can close up like a clam
|
|
|
Because I wouldn’t want you to want
|
To be wanted by me
|
I wouldn’t want you to worry
|
You'd be drowned within my sea
|
|
I only wanted to be wonderful
|
And wonderful is true
|
In truth I only really wanted
|
To be wanted by you
|
|
So go play with your piano
|
And write a mediocre song
|
About the shell of mediocrity
|
And pretend there’s nothing wrong
|
|
I never thought
|
You where a chicken shit
|
I never thought of you at all
|
Until you ask me to be part of it
|
And now you're showing me your wall
|
|
I wouldn’t want you to want
|
To be wanted by me
|
I wouldn’t want you to worry
|
You be drowned within my sea
|
|
I only wanted to be wonderful
|
And wonderful is true
|
In truth I only really wanted
|
To be wanted by you
|
|
La la la la ……………
|
|
|
In truth I only really wanted
|
To be wanted by you
|
