The Rat Within The Grain

Damien Rice

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, I'm being misunderstood.
I'm thinkin' someone's trying to fu*k with me and set fire to my wood.

Well 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.

It's a stupid situation now where everything goes wrong.
If you can't tell if I am lying: then you do not belong.
In my bed, go rest your head upon the bones of a bigger man.
And he can cover you with rockwool and you can close up like a clam.

'cause 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 this shell of mediocrity
And pretend there's nothing wrong.
I never thought you were a chicken sh*t:
I never thought of you at all.
Until you asked me to be part of it
And now you're showing me a wall.

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.

In truth, I only really wanted to be wanted by you.

Lada da da etc...

In truth, I only really wanted to be wanted by you.
