the rat within the grain

Singer:damien rice

this would not have happened

if i hadn't missed my plane

i've 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 think'in someones 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

it's a 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

he can cover you with rock wool

and you can close up like a clam

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

out the shell of mediocrity

and pretend there's nothing wrong

i never thought you where a chicken shit

i never thought of you at all

until you asked me to be part of it

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

la la la la

in truth i only really wanted

to be wanted by you
