I’ve been keeping myself locked away from thoughts of you
The nights were for this
But as midnight came and left

The tied would swing
Around the time I was getting over it
It was like she knew that my minds beyond the red

You can do what you want but think of me
When we’re circling the same ground
You say you have tried and now it’s down to me
But you’re getting it the wrong way round

All I ever wanted was something
(to call my own)
All I ever thought of was running away
(away with you)
All I ever needed was someone to call upon
But love was always secondary
Until things all fell apart

I could hear it, 
In her voice when she spoke my name
Her mind had chosen his way

As I replied,
It seemed my words had clearly lost their weight
They went from cutting through to a near miss too late

The return of the statutory lines
When you ain’t spoken in a while
These stolen moments frozen in time
Choked me with a smile

All I ever wanted was something
(to call my own)
All I ever thought of was running away
(away with you)
All I ever needed was someone to call upon
But love was always secondary
Until things all fell apart

So I sit back and try to write a song
About the only thing that plagues my mind
When I’m sat here drinking alone
It’s a long way down

All I ever wanted was something
(to call my own)
All I ever thought of was running away
(away with you)
All I ever needed was someone 
(why, why. why)?
But love was always secondary
Until things all fell apart.
