If She Wants Me |
I wrote a letter on a nothing day |
I asked somebody 'Could you send my letter away'? |
'You are too young to put all of your hopes in just one envelope' |
I said goodbye to someone that I love |
It’s not just me, I tell you it’s the both of us |
And it was hard |
Like coming off the pills that you take to stay happy |
Someone above has seen me do alright |
Someone above is looking with a tender eye |
Upon your face, you may think you’re alone but you may think again |
If I could do just one near perfect thing I’d be happy |
They’d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes |
On second thoughts I’d rather hang about and be there with my best friend |
If she wants me |
And far away somebody read the letter |
He condescends to read the words I wrote about him |
And if he smiles, it’s no more than a genius deserves |
For all your curious nerve and your passion |
I’m going deaf, you’re growing melancholy |
Things fall apart, I don’t know why we bother at all |
But life is good and 'It's always worth living at least for a while' |
If I could do just one near perfect thing I’d be happy |
They’d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes |
On second thoughts I’d rather hang around and be there with my best friend |
If she wants me |
If you think to yourself 'What should I do now'? |
Then take the baton, girl, you better run with it |
'Cause there is no point in standing in the past cause it’s over and done |
I took a book and went into the forest |
I climbed the hill, I wanted to look down on you |
But all I saw was twenty miles of wilderness so I went home |
If I could do just one near perfect thing I’d be happy |
They’d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes |
On second thoughts I’d rather hang around and be there with my best friend |
If she wants me |
If I could do just one near perfect thing I’d be happy |
They’d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes |
On second thoughts I’d rather hang around and be there with my best friend |
If she wants me |
If she wants me, yeah |
If she wants me, yeah |
If she wants me, yeah |
