Like the memory from your
mother's house
From before you got too old
Like the feeling
from a photograph
Before it's meanings
all got told
The words I say can be silver
But what's left
unsaid can be gold
So get to know me
once I go away
Maybe 'cause I come from
such an empty-hearted town
Or maybe 'cause some love
of mine had really let me down
But the only time I am lonely
is when others are around
I just never end up
knowing what to say
If I wanted someone
to clean me up
I'd find myself a maid
If I wanted someone
to spend my money
I wouldn't need to get paid
If I wanted someone
to understand me
I'd have so much more to say
I want you to make
the days move easy
I took everything I thought
from what it means to be a man
We need words to be put
to what we do not understand
While you lean into the echoes
and you do not raise a hand
Oh woman help me
see it like it is
If I wanted someone
to clean me up
I'd find myself a maid
If I wanted someone
to spend my money
I wouldn't need to get paid
If I wanted someone
to understand me
I'd have so much more to say
I want you to make
the days move easy
If I wanted someone
to clean me up
I'd find myself a maid
If I wanted someone
to spend my money
I wouldn't need to get paid
If I wanted someone
to understand me
I'd have so much more to say
I want you to make
the days move easy
If I wanted someone
to clean me up
I'd find myself a maid
If I wanted someone
to spend my money
I wouldn't need to get paid
If I wanted someone
to cut me down
I'd have handed you
the blade
I want you to make
the days move easy
I just want you to make
the days move easy
