| I never meant to say you were a thorn in either side
|
| It was a side effect from the scars on the forty-fives
|
| And as the vital sticks it reminds me of what we have
|
| Despite the things you do you know I’m a fool for you
|
| They say a legal kiss is not as good as a stolen one
|
| We put our lives on show and yet we sing to a different song
|
| And from the bassinet to the graveside we never walk
|
| Of everything I’ve lost I miss my mind the most
|
| I never once understood your dealings
|
| A group of friends who I’d give what for
|
| And I could name every crack on our ceiling
|
| A sign of thorns
|
| Am I a frame in your bigger picture?
|
| A rubber ring for your stormy seas?
|
| If I could be just a train fare richer
|
| I’d sure change my needs
|
| I’d change my needs
|
| I’d change my needs
|
| I’d change my needs
|
| In the half light a rush of violence is in the place
|
| And if a look could kill you’d need a license for your face
|
| You say that love is blind
|
| And I’m the one that restored your sight
|
| The girl who never knows
|
| I’m the girl who never knows
|
| I never once understood your dealings
|
| A group of friends who I’d give what for
|
| And I could name every crack on our ceiling
|
| A sign of thorns
|
| Am I a frame in your bigger picture?
|
| A rubber ring for your stormy seas?
|
| If I could be just a train fare richer
|
| I’d change my needs
|
| I’d change my needs
|
| I’d change my needs
|
| I’d change my needs
|
| I’d change my needs |
