Nowhere

(album: Sponge Cake - 2017)

You didn't know
But I needed you when
I'm on my own
Nowhere
Do what I do to keep you when it's overdue
I'm gon' be forgotten if I don't do something, no

He's a dreamer
Got his sights set on a screamer
She's a keeper, but the question
"Can he keep her?"'s getting weaker
Said that it's a piece of cake
A slice of bread and you the butter
It was your turn to spread it
But I held the cutter so I dice it up and try and put my end in your start
But first I gotta find a place to stand up in your heart
Saying twice is the test, thrice gets the best
I'm on the fence and the fence gets compressed
So do less

You didn't know
But I needed you when
I'm on my own
Nowhere
Do what I do to keep you when it's overdue
I'm gon' be forgotten if I don't do something, no

Keep you by my side
I got my eyes wide
Open, hoping that you might want to come by
But you leave me so dry and I put you so high
And I need to know why ya give me the cold eye
Yeah, and if I ever get past that, ya won't come back
Now you know that we both got broke when we lost cloud nine
You was on the rope when we crossed that line

You didn't know
But I needed you when
I'm on my own
Nowhere
Do what I do to keep you when it's overdue
I'm gon' be forgotten if I don't do something, no

Never said it's gonna be all right
And you went with it when it seemed like you might go somewhere in time
You still know whether you're mine
And I just wanna know, I know you'll let me go
Make it have a slow one and we take it with the flow
I collect you sneering, tell me if you hear me
Read another theory why you never feel me
I just need ya near me

You didn't know
But I needed you when
I'm on my own
Nowhere
Do what I do to keep you when it's overdue
I'm gon' be forgotten if I don't do something, no
