This would not have happened if I hadn't missed my plane
I would have been there when they told you I'm the rat within the grain
Within this big misunderstanding now I'm being misunderstood
I'm thinkin 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 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
The stupid situation now where everything goes wrong
If you can't tell if I am lying then you do not belong
In my bed, go rest your head upon the bones of a bigger man
And he can cover you with rockwool and you can close up like a clam
Cause 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, write a mediocre song
About the shell of mediocrity and pretend there's nothing wrong
I never thought you were a chicken shit I never thought of you at all
Until you asked 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'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
In truth I only really wanted to be wanted by you
Sláinte!
