New #1 - Bob Mould

You, yeah, you always haul my ball and chain right

To there, the place where I get lost inside of

You, yeah, I see your face and hear your voice right

Through that which seems so hopeless and confusing

Sometimes I try too hard to separate the

Good times from sadness that we’ve had together

Balancing, I need to keep it all in some perspective

Calm me down, I need you more than you will ever comprehend

I don’t want this to end, I can’t lose one more friend

I go through my regrets and I return the compliments and

Hope I find that innocence, I’ve got to be here no matter what happens now

Slow down, you say that time will tell the story, it

Goes around, but no one else could know what’s here

Between us, I sense this tension that I know so

Well, but the calm I feel is being with you, near you constantly

I can’t wash this away, it’s here to stay

I need to cleanse my soul, these thoughts will make me lose control

So if I lose control, don’t leave me, you’ve got to be here, no matter what

happens now

Trust me, I’m here for you with good intentions

Trust in me, despite some times when I don’t trust

Myself, in myself, in my head, in my own confusion

My confusion gets the best of me, my illusions set me free

Free to dream about what I really need to set me

Free, is it you, is it me, what can I do to set you

Free, to be real, to be with me when I need you

Are you listening, are you listening to me

Forgive me when I lose control (sometimes I forget myself)

Forgive me for the thoughts I have (sometimes I think just like you)

Maybe I can’t trust myself (I know that I can trust in you)

But I can’t keep it to myself (I feel just like you)
