I don't want you to like me
But I need you to like me
That's just who I am
Don't have a plan

I'm trying to live free
Just so pleasantly
But I can barely stand on my two feet
When you're not standing there with me

I'm stopping this rushing water, slowing it down
I don't give a dam about you
But I built this dam around you

To save you
I'd be brave for you
But I really wonder who can say the same
Who can stay sane

Who can be as insane as you really are
Who can walk clueless into the dark
I'm just floating through,
An every now and then
I bump into you again

You dent me
You lend me your heart
You bend me
You tear me apart
But that's alright
I'll stay up all night
To set things right
See the greater sites
And realise
How small everything is
How numbing everything is

And so I float through the void
Keeping to my own noise
There's people playing coy
And the girls interested in other boys

Then I bump into you
You're grumpy for a while
You thump me but
Then you smile
All through one of the longest miles

Remembering what we've been through before
Remembering what I've been fighting for
Trapped behind this shut door
There's so much more

We'll get through
And might later find something new
I get you
That just something that you do

I'm afraid to be happy
Afraid that your not right for me
Afraid that you would live so happily
If I wasn't were I wanted to be

With you
We'd live through
Seeing me lose
I would give you
Everything

I wont make a move
Do what you want to do
You can be anything you
You choose to

Building houses again
Working up till half past ten
With my oldest friends
I hope this never ends

But wonder when
Wondering if then
I will be free
Wandering again
Happily me
