Damien Rice - The Rat Within The Grain

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


Because 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
And 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
