Damien Rice The Rat Within The Grain Lyrics

This would have not 've 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 thinking someone's trying to f___ 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

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
He can cover you with rockwool,
And you can close up like a clam

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 this shell of mediocrity,
And pretend there's nothing wrong
I never thought you were a chicken s___,
I never thought of you at all
Until you asked me to be part of it,
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

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