Not When I Need It - Matthew Sweet

Look at you you’re just as blind

Trying to grab your little piece of mind

And you want to hold it near

But you know you can’t keep it

Say a little should suffice

But more than a little of you is so nice

And you give me what I want

Not when I need it (not when I need it)

Not when I need it (not when I need it)

Well I find it all the time

But Not when I need it

No two days are quite the same

I look at me life I really can’t complain

And you come so easily

Not when I need it (not when I need it)

Not when I need it (not when I need it)

Well I find it all the time

Not when I need it

The feeling’s getting out of hand

But I can’t have you on demand

I can hang onto a dream

But I can’t hold it

Late at night I’m filled with fear

That I can’t take for granted that you’ll

Always be near

And it makes me hate myself

To think I can’t see it (not when I need it)

Not when I need it (not when I need it)

Well I find it all the time

Not when I need it (not when I need it)

Well I find it all the time

Not when I need it
