Bob Mould New #1 Lyrics

You, yeah, you always haul my ball and chain right
To there, the place where I get lost inside of
You, yeah, I see your face and hear your voice right
Through that which seems so hopeless and confusing
Sometimes I try too hard to separate the
Good times from sadness that we've had together
Balancing, I need to keep it all in some perspective
Calm me down, I need you more than you will ever comprehend

I don't want this to end / I can't lose one more friend
I go through my regrets and I return the compliments and
Hope I find that innocence, I've got to be here no matter what happens now.

Slow down, you say that time will tell the story, it
Goes around, but no one else could know what's here
Between us, I sense this tension that I know so
Well, but the calm I feel is being with you, near you constantly

I can't wash this away / it's here to stay
I need to cleanse my soul, these thoughts will make me lose controlSo if I lose control, don't leave me, you've got to be here, no matter what happens now

Trust me, I'm here for you with good intentions
Trust in me, despite some times when I don't trust
Myself, in myself, in my head, in my own confusion
My confusion gets the best of me, my illusions set me free.
Free to dream about what I really need to set me
Free, is it you, is it me, what can I do to set you
Free, to be real, to be with me when I need you
Are you listening, are you listening to me.

Forgive me when I lose control (sometimes I forget myself)
Forgive me for the thoughts I have (sometimes I think just like you)
Maybe I can't trust myself (I know that I can trust in you)
But I can't keep it to myself (I feel just like you)
