Something More
I try to live with uncertainty
I am a dark audience
I ’legalise criminality
And criminalise dissent’
Despite the wild horse in me
Baby, I’m yours to keep
Some things are worth losing for
So I try to be something more
I haven’t ‘drowned all my cares with drink
I have only helped them grow’
But it helps me to know what you think
To know all your known unknowns
Despite the wild horse in you
I’m yours, baby, please don’t say, ‘Fuck you!’
Some things are worth losing for
So, baby, I try to be something more
Marvel to marvel
Drought to drowned world
I’ll be ‘old tomorrow’
You’ll be ‘the cool hand of a girl’
Woo hoo! My heart is racing. Flying. Escaping. Ungh!
Despite the wild horse in us
I’m yours, baby, please don’t say, ‘So what?’
Some things are worth losing for
Baby, let’s try to be something more
Despite the wild horse in me
Oh, baby, I’m yours, I’m yours to keep
Some things are worth losing for
So, baby, I will be something more
