Like the memory from your mother's house from before you got too old Like the feeling from a photograph before it's meanings all got told The words i say can be silver, but what's left unsaid can be gold So get to know me once i go away Maybe 'cause i come from such an empty-hearted town Or maybe 'cause some love of mine had really let me down But the only time i am lonely is when others are around I just never end up knowing what to say If i wanted someone to clean me up, i'd find myself a maid If i wanted someone to spend my money, i wouldn't need to get paid If i wanted someone to understand me, i'd have so much more to say I want you to make the days move easy I took everything i thought from what it means to be a man We need words to be put to what we do not understand While you lean into the echoes and you do not raise a hand Oh woman, help me see it like it is If i wanted someone to clean me up, i'd find myself a maid If i wanted someone to spend my money, i wouldn't need to get paid If i wanted someone to understand me, i'd have so much more to say I want you to make the days move easy If i wanted someone to clean me up, i'd find myself a maid If i wanted someone to spend my money, i wouldn't need to get paid If i wanted someone to cut me down, i'd have handed you the blade I want you to make the days move easy I just want you to make the days move easy
