I got pretty fast to the bottom of this glass and here I'm gonna stay
If I don't get off my a*** I'm gonna miss another class
But you can't teach old dogs new tricks anyway
And the kennel is warm
I'm meant to meet you later, be all there for you but somehow now I fear
That the wistful looks and the whistled hooks
Ain't the ones I care to read or wanna hear
Oh I never really understood
But I'd meet you in the desert
I'd crawl there on my knees
Give you all my wisdom
And you'd give yours to me
But I never really hit it right
Realisation number one was that it all started out as fun
But you soon got your hooks into me
I was surprised to learn, my fingers getting burned
It ain't just us women who get clingy
Oh the fire of love can burn too bright
But as the scales tipped and I soon got the hint
Expectations they were high
If the ideal in your mind ain't quite what you find
You gotta do your best to try and change them, try
Try and make them what you want
But I'd meet you in the desert
I'd crawl there on my knees
Give you all my wisdom
And you'd give yours to me
I'd be a bright torch shining
I'd be a fortress high
That you could shelter under
And sleep sound through the night
But I never really hit it right
I'm gonna sit on this chair, I won't go back over there
I think I've learned enough
Staring out onto the street, moving cars and walking feet
Everyone goes somewhere, everyone does it tough
I know it ain't just us
I'll keep an eye out for you as I wander on through this thing that we call life
I really hope you do find the one for you, the one you wouldn't change because she's right
I certainly ain't the one for you
But I'd meet you in the desert
I'd crawl there on my knees
Give you all my wisdom
And you'd give yours to me
I'd be a bright torch shining
I'd be a fortress high
That you could shelter under
And sleep sound through the night
But I never really hit it right
