I never meant to say you were a thorn in either side, It was a side effect from the scars on the fourty-fives. And as the vital mistakes, 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 rope or rein 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...
And in the half light a rush of violence is in the place, And if a look could kill you'd need a licence for your face. You say that love is blind and I'm the one that restored your sight. The girl who never knows, 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 rope or rein 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...
