Song | If I Wanted Someone |
Artist | Dawes |
Album | Nothing Is Wrong |
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 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 |
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 emptyhearted 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 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 |
