The Rat Within the Grain lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
I'm being misunderstood
I'm thinking someone's trying to f*ck with me
And set fire to my wood

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
And he can cover you with rockwool
And you can close up like a clam
[Chorus]
'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

[Verse 3]
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 sh*t
I never thought of you at all
Until you asked me to be part of it
And now you're showing me a wall

[Chorus]

La la la...

[Bridge]
In truth, I only really wanted to be wanted by you
