The rat within the grain

This would not have 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
and I´m being misunderstood
I´m thinking 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
That 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´m 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 rock wool
And you can close up like a clam
Because 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
And write a mediocre song
About the shell of mediocrity
And pretend there´s nothing wrong
I never thought
You where a chicken shit
I never thought of you at all
Until you ask 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 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
La la la la ……………
In truth I only really wanted
To be wanted by you
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
and I´m being misunderstood
I´m thinking 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
That 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´m 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 rock wool
And you can close up like a clam
Because 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

In truth I only really wanted
To be wanted by you
