Change My Needs

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
