Passenger - The Way That I Need You

Текст песни

About one year later your daddy was born and your
grandma held my hand so tight
Oh I can’t tell the joy as she brought forth new life,
by the glow of the kerosene light, by the glow of the kerosene light.
He’s the deflated balloon wrapped around your gait
Cut priced to clear a past to «sell by date»
He’ll be fool running through the church screaming out «it's not too late»
When he does, I know that you’ll wait
He’s the drunk man with bad breath coming on too strong
He’s the beauty queen that strings your heart along
And he’ll answer every question in your new-age magazine wrong
But I know you’ll love him strong
So I’m leaving before there’s nothing to believe in
I’m just craving for a love I never knew
Please don’t go mistreating me
I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me Just not needing me the way that I need you
He’s the elephant in the room that never speaks
But you dream about him every two weeks
I wouldn’t know his name, but you call it in your sleep
Oh I know you love him deep
So run back to him like you should
I guess I always knew that you would
For he’s captured your heart in a way I never could
So go on and love him good
So I’m leaving before there’s nothing to believe in
I’m just craving for a love I’ve never knew
I’m the stray cat you keep feeding
You’re the book I can’t stop reading
But the tides are receding that it’s true
So please don’t go mistreating me
I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me,
Just not needing me the way that I need you
Just not needing me the way that I need you
