I want a fire but I don't want to burn
I want a gun and I don't want to hurt
I need a drink but I don't want to die
I need you around when there's no you and I
And people tell me, "can't stay on the only road you know", but it's coming around again
And people tell me, "can't endure the only pain that shows", but it's coming around again
And in my backpack dream's where you follow who you love,
And in my backpack dream's where I'd cover you, I'd cover you
//
I'll start a war that I don't want to fight
I stayed at home so I'd cry all night
I want your love but don't give it away
Keep it to yourself, make me wait
And people tell me, "can't stay on the only road you know", but it's coming around again
And people tell me, "can't endure the only pain that shows", but it's coming around again
And in my backpack dream's where you follow who you love,
And in my backpack dream's where I'd cover you, I'd cover you
I need you now, and I don't wanna wait
Need you in my arms, and I know what to say
I've lied I've loved before, but this time it's true
I never wanted someone till I wanted you
And in my backpack dream's where you follow who you love,
And in my backpack dream's where I'd cover you, I'd cover you
I remember at Richard’s house, and in the garden, learning how to talk to you. I’m still trying. Either way I'm not a guy I'd want you to fall in love with. I’m just sorry for everything. I'm so sorry for everything.
