Damien Rice - The Rat Within The Grain lyrics

rate me

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 thinkin' someone's trying to fu*k with me and set fire to my wood.

Well 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.

And he can cover you with rockwool and you can close up like a clam.

'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.

So go play with your piano and 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.

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.

Lada da da etc...

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