Above You, Below Me

(album: About A Boy - 2002)

Don't want to give
Don't want to steal
Don't want to be anything I'm not
You take answers
I give questions
Like some rolling monologue
Want to be the one to say
That today could be the day
A day to believe in what you know
Is what you know

I will take you as you are
Please accept me as I am
Find your lonely life bizarre
I know it's above you
I know it's below me

All this and more

Don't want to live life in your shoes
I don't feel I know the way
Feeling you
Giving me directions
I don't need
Up above and round we go
First it's fast and then it's slow
Could you connect with my intellect

I won't take you as you are
Please don't take me as I am
Find your lonely life bizarre
You see this in love
You see this in life

THrow an all year round reception
For a love with no connection
Knowing you knowing my
Ignorance to modern life

I know it's above me
I know it's below you
I know it's above me
I know it's below you

I will take you as you are
Please accept me as I am

Find your lonely life bizarre
I know it's above you
I know it's below me

I will take you as you are
Please accept me as I am
There'll be something in the wind
To show us we're right
And tell us we're wrong

I want to know more
