The Way That I Need You Songtext
von Passenger

He′s the deflated balloon
Wrapped round your gate
Cut price to clear and past
His sell by date

He'll be the fool
Running through the church yard
Screaming out
It′s not too late

And when he does
I know that you'll wait

He's the drunk man
With bad breath coming on too strong
But he′s the beauty queen
That strings your heart along

And he′ll answer
Every question
In your new age magazine wrong
But I know you love him strong


So I'm leaving
For there′s nothing to believe in
I'm just grieving for a love
I never knew

Please don′t go
Misreading me
I'm not saying
You′ve been misleading me
Just not needing me
The way that I need you

He's the elephant
In the room that never speaks
But you dream about him
Every two weeks

And I wouldn't know his name
But you call it in your sleep
Oh, I know
You love him deep

So run back to him
Like you should
I guess I always knew
That you would


For he′s captured your heart
In a way I never could
So go on
And love him good

Oh, I′m leaving
For there's nothing to believe in
I′m just grieving for a love
I never knew

You're the book
I can′t stop reading
I'm the stray cat
You′ve been feeding

But the tides
They are receding now
It's true

Please don't go
Misreading me
I′m not saying
You′ve been misleading me

Just not needing me
The way that I need you
Just not needing me
The way that I need you
