Lyrics
When things are bad you make it better
One smile from you can make the black clouds chase away
You bring the sun in any weather
I'm feeling feather pillow puffed up when you talk to me
I understand you're with another
I guess with grace and taste and all the things I lack
But being near if just sufficient
Coz I got wishing to sustain me when the facts attack
And if you're all a waste of time
Then I'm gladly wasting mine
Yeah you turn my tears from water into wine
Our fingers meet down by the cooler
Could fate be crueller than to tease me with a touch
You walk away like nothing happened
Maybe for you that's how it is but I still feel the rush
Some people say its fake
Opium I take
I'll defend you to the end my imaginary friend
Who needs intelligence
Quick wit or elegance
Its the comfort rug that's hugging my brain
