You're The One I Want

(album: Perfecting Loneliness - 2002)

Blooming black flower wine
Slashed arms and new cut smiles
Taller for the falling down
Stronger now without you 'round, 'round

The prophecies were realized
When we gave them proper time
All truth comes to light
After lies have had their night, night

And it's hard without you
But it's harder not to doubt you
You're so polite
I'm too uptight

You've grown more beautiful
Since you took off
What can I do, I'm in love with you
And it won't stop

You're the one I want
You're the one I want

Cookie crumbs and alcohol
Crooked hands, the band's on hold
'Cause your shoulders make me old
Your concerns leave me cold, cold

And it's hard to leave you
But it's harder to believe you
Harder to believe you when you smile
Crooked style

You've grown more beautiful
Since you took off
What can I do, I'm in love with you
And I can't stop

What's best for everyone is bound to hurt somebody
What's best for everyone is killing me

Let me down
Set me down
Let me down
Easy

Blood crushed from a clock
I'm in love but we just talk
And your teeth make me weak
And you're keeping them from me, me
