've never been as handy
As the boy who raised himself
If I had ever been as needy
I'd enjoy, lengthways, top, shelf

Against the odds he is constructive
While I move around in circles and celebrate
Unscarred and unproductive
More or less that's me as much as

The last time that we ever really talked it through
I felt weak, a fool, awestruck...
But I'll never shine like that light
Or arrange my own rescue
I love him
Though he drinks too much

So you learn about the easy standard
As you wipe it from your window
Have you ever shown enough dissent?
Have you controlled your ego...

Make way for your misjudgement
Fail, succeed, go there and back again
I'm sure you feel fulfilment
You're not that brilliant, you shouldn't
Waste time on your own
Just talk it through and you'll feel strong and hip, awestruck
But you'll never shine like that light
Or arrange your own rescue
I love him
Though he drinks like it's going out of fashion
But it never will
