| I am selfish when I need you
|
| I am the blistering side of the wall in the back of your room
|
| We watched the sea turn away from the shore
|
| And head back out the way that it came
|
| If you are chasing your love, you don’t want it enough
|
| And it’s best just to walk away
|
| Tell yourself your pride is just the same
|
| Trying not to count the days 'til mine gets washed away
|
| Carry your head up along the way
|
| You’ll say you lack the courage and the guts of a hero
|
| Even when they’re on your side
|
| Let’s watch the middle fade away 'til it’s all gone
|
| I am selfish when I need you
|
| I am the blistering side of the wall in the back of your room
|
| I am the envy of what you’re afraid to write and that’s fine
|
| Seems to me like everyone around here is just waiting
|
| I don’t wanna move cause it’s just enough
|
| I don’t wanna blink cause I might miss it
|
| Tell me when it gets to be too much
|
| Carry your head up along the way
|
| And you’ll say you lack the courage and the guts of a hero
|
| And everybody’s on your side
|
| We’ll watch the middle fade away 'til it’s all gone
|
| I am selfish when I need you
|
| I am the blistering side of the wall in the back of your room
|
| I am the envy of what you’re afraid to write and that’s fine
|
| All we need is a place we can be alone
|
| Just with you and with me and without all this desperate weight that I have
|
| All I want is to just be honest
|
| You’re the piece that I just found out how to fit to
|
| And I don’t see you anymore
|
| I am selfish when I need you
|
| I am the blistering side of the wall in the back of your room
|
| I am the envy of what you’re afraid to write and that’s fine
|
| You lack the courage and the guts of a hero
|
| And everybody’s on your side
|
| We’ll watch the middle fade away 'til it’s all gone
|
| I just wanna waste your time |
