When my face is all changed from the cruelty of age I'll still miss you
In a dream you forgave me and I almost did it myself till I woke back up
I'm always procrastinating evading the job of going through them boxes in the attic
As long as they're in the dark there's a flickering spark we'd repair

Just want to talk to you
Wanna talk with my best friend wanna let go of everything that I carry
Wanna shoulder some of yours instead I wanna hurt with you
Hurt with somebody who understands have the strength to truly like myself

And have the love to take someone's hand
I was down in the lowlights getting hounded by moths and dickheads
Your uncle came in I geared up for one on the nose
He was sombre and kind as I self-flagellated and grovelled told me to come back but I cheated and it's over

Shrinks somehow link it all back to my upbringing but I don't want an excuse for my mess
I just want to talk to you
Wanna talk with my best friend wanna let go of everything that I carry
Wanna shoulder some of yours instead I wanna hurt with you

Hurt with somebody who understands have the strength to truly like myself
And have the love to take someone's hand I wanna talk to you
I wanna talk to you
Oh I just want to talk to you

Only want to talk to you
Only want to talk to you
Only want to talk to you talk to you
Seven years wrapped in youth's great love

You picked me up and sucked the cancer from my bones
Your old man loved me like a son he never had
And I ate him out of house and home
I have learnt and I will never stop learning

My failures are my prized possessions
I don't deserve to talk to you
But I hope that I can root for you
Give 'em hell darling
