i want somebody who

sees the pointlessness

and still keeps their purpose in mind

i want somebody who

has a tortured soul some of the time

i want somebody who

will put out for me

or will put me out of my misery

or maybe just put it all to words and make me go

you know, I never heard it put that way

make me go what did you just say?

i want somebody who

can hold my interest

hold it and never let it fall

somebody who can flatten me

with a kiss that hits like a fist

or a sentence that stops me

like a brick wall

if you hear me talking

listen to what i'm not saying

if you hear me playing guitar

listen to what i'm not playing

and don't ask me to put words

to all the spaces between notes

don't ask me to put words

to all the silences i wrote

if fact, if you have to ask,forget it

do and you'll regret it

i am tired of being the interesting one

i'm tired of having fun for two

just lay yourself on the line

i might just lay myself down by you

but don't sit behind your eyes

and wait for me to surprise you

i want somebody who

can make me scream until it's funny

give me a run for my money

i want somebody who can twist me up in knots

tell me for the woman who has everything

what have you got?

i want somebody who's not afraid of me

or anyone else

in other words i want someone

who is not afraid

of themselves

do you think i'm asking too much?
