Making change from two cents and trying to live with
That the truth is the truth is inconvenient
A black sheep a black dress a red disposition
A lot of truth so either way I'll keep what I'm gleaning
And keep believing...
That I could quit you if I need to
But the cold kills you quicker than the cigarettes do
So stop looking at me in a way that would make your mother worry
And do something that'll make your mother worry
Because I want to want you I just never want to need you
I want to want you I just never want to need you
This chemical is a criminal but I think I'll allow it
Because they find my blood in all of this caffeine
I wonder if she can tell that it means something to me
That her sober thoughts and idle hands are now wandering on me
I could quit you if I need to
But the cold kills you quicker than the cigarettes do
So stop looking at me in a way that would make your mother worry
And do something that'll make your mother worry
Because I want to want you I just never want to need you
I want to want you I just never want to need you
But I guess I'm still deciding what kind of man I am, because I don't know why I came here but I came anyway...
I would never ask you, to put the changes back on
'Cause I would never want to get to know any other version of you
Than the one that's familiar with owing nothing to no one
So dwell where it's warm enough, and if I'm not warm enough
I will quit you if you need me to
