I run around you know me so well
You’d always wait for me
I used to use you like a crutch
And for that I’m so sorry
You looked so hard for signs of life
Behind my eyes
But I was always so far away, in reverie plotting and planning.
I’m so damn selfish, I run around
Wash me of love and commitment
And never tie me down
I’ll buy you flowers from a petrol station
Just to prove that I miss your touch
You say you still love my music
But I go away too much,
I go away too much.
You know that smoking’s so delicious,
I couldn’t quit for you.
But when I leave Granville road,
I’ll leave with it my tobacco .
And if I visit the Grand Canyon .
The only time I’ll allow the paper to touch my lips,
Inhale, exhale out.
I’ll be forever your protector, available .
Forever your best friend, maybe more.
I’m so damn selfish, I run around
Wash me of love and commitment and never tie me down.
I’ll turn smoking in the garden into a hectic and restless life.
Just the way that I love it , but also the way that you don’t like.
