Damien Rice - The Rat Within The Grain lyrics

This would not have happened

If I hadn't missed my plane

I would've been there when they told you

I'm the rat within the grain

Within this big misunderstanding now

And I'm being misunderstood

I'm thinking 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

That 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'm 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

And write a mediocre song

About 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 ask 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 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
