Damien Rice - The Rat Within The Grain

This would not have happened if I hadn't missed my plane

I would have 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 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 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




The 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, write a mediocre song


About the shell of mediocrity and pretend there's nothing wrong


I never thought you were a chicken shit I never thought of you at all


Until you asked 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'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
This would not have happened if I hadn't missed my plane

I would have 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 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 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




The 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, write a mediocre song


About the shell of mediocrity and pretend there's nothing wrong


I never thought you were a chicken shit I never thought of you at all


Until you asked 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'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
