I was trying to get your attention
By talking about where you go
Every summer since you made your money
Just so I would seem more in the know
Now I buy all my clothes for approval
And my denim I get in Japan
And I stand at the edge of your circle
'Cause I wanna be your kind of man
I've thought about death every day of my life
Guess I'll think about life when I'm dying
And I'm failing to find any positives yet
But at least I can say that I'm trying
And I think about you every hour of the day
No, it probably sounds like I'm lying
And the older I get, it doesn't feel like I can
But I wanna be your kind of man
Now I bottle up all of my sadness
And I throw in what you couldn't take
And I sell it all over the counter
Because nobody cares that it's fake
And I microwave all of my anger
But then just when I'm ready to pop
You'll say 'love's not a record collection
You can leave at a charity shop.'
I've watched all of my friends getting married
But I'm too good at being a prick
And when time keeps on moving so quickly
I feel constantly busy and sick
Can you pay for your sins in installments?
Can you pay for what others have done?
Guess there's no real point getting even
While I wanna be your number one
I've thought about death every day of my life
Guess I'll think about life when I'm dying
And I'm failing to find any positives yet
But at least I can say that I'm trying
And I think about you every hour of the day
No, it probably sounds like I'm lying
And the older I get, it doesn't feel like I can
But I wanna be your kind of man
We've been using the same kind of language
I've been borrowing from other men
And if you can't work out where it came from
I will use it some more until then
And now maybe I'm too voyeuristic
But the place you constructed your truth
Has invited me in, so I worship
And there's no higher power than youth
I've thought about death every day of my life
Guess I'll think about life when I'm dying
And I'm failing to find any positives yet
But at least I can say that I'm trying
And I think about you every hour of the day
No, it probably sounds like I'm lying
And the older I get, it doesn't feel like I can
But I wanna be your kind of man
I wanna be your kind of man
I wanna be your kind of man
