Change My Needs

I never, I never meant to say You were a thorn in either side It was a side effect from The scars on the forty-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 license 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
