Rat Within The Grain
Damien Rice
Letra

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

Then this big misunderstanding out, wouldn t be misunderstood.

I m thinking someone s trying to 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.

And he will 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 and write a mediocre song

About this shell of mediocrity: pretend there s nothing wrong.

I never thought you were a chicken shit:

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.
