Rat within the grain

(Damien Rice)

(…)

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

(…)

A song for us

Hey, dear
Long time no see
tell me what you love
and tell me what you fear
Why not listening to some music
Or going out for some beer?
Let’s catch up, indeed
Teach me your best trick
And I’ll give my best look in treat
Same interests, same age
Why not share everything
and write them down on a new page?

Hey, dear
let’s bang on trash cans sometime
or listen to brazilian music
and watch people going by
Perhaps some photo shoots
so I can keep your best angle
and your worst, for what is worth

My dearest
Let’s visit distant relatives
and share a little secret
I know your time here will be short
but we can make it last longer
In my head, in your head
Let’s be neighbors someday
And crucify this distance
That has always been so sad
