Lyrics

There's not a whole lot to me, I've come to find
That you can't wipe away in your own mind
Defending me, has got to be
Blowing you down, like some cold, hard Northern wind
We've tried but we've found that I leave off right where you begin

So what I'd rather be now, is someone who does not concern you
It doesn't bother me, or so I've come to believe
In my fate, fate, fate
I'm like falling water and you're like rain
And we'll never be the same
And we'll never be the same

We started looking up about a month ago
But that was only because we'd been so low
Collecting me, like fallen leaves
Found, but no use in your over-my-head plans
And how we confused love and help I do not understand

But what I'd rather be now, is someone who won't disappoint you
They say we ought to be contented with our lives
And it's strange, strange, strange
To think lives are lives are lions to be tamed
'Cause we'll never be the same
No, we'll never be the same

I can't say what I'd rather be
So I'll say what I'm not
I'm not now and never will be
You
You
