If She Wants Me

I wrote a letter on a nothing day
I asked somebody to just send my letter away
You are too young to put all your hopes in just one envelope

I said goodbye to someone that I loved
It's not just me, I tell you it's the both of us.
And it was hard, like coming of the pill that you take to stay happy.

Someone above has seen me do alright
Someone above is looking with the tender eye
Upon your face, you may think you're alone but you may think again.

If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
They'd write it on my grave or when they scattered my ashes
On second thoughts I'd rather hang around and be with my best friend
If she wants me.

And far away, somebody read a letter
He condescends to read the words I wrote about him
And if he smiles, it's no more than a genius deserves, for all his curious nerves, and his passion

I'm goin' deaf, you're going melancholy
Things fall apart, I don't know why we bother at all.
But life is good, and it's always worth living at least for a while.

If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
They'd write it on my grave or when they scattered my ashes
On second thoughts I'd rather hang around and be with my best friend
If she wants me.

If you think to yourself what should I do now
Then take a bath, to go, you'd better run with it
'Cause there is no point in standing in the past 'cause it's over and done.

I took a book, I went into the forest
I climbed the hill, I wanted to look down on you
But all I saw was twenty miles of wilderness, so I went home.

If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
They'd write it on my grave or when they scattered my ashes
On second thoughts I'd rather hang around and be with my best friend
If she wants me.

If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
They'd write it on my grave or when they scattered my ashes
On second thoughts I'd rather hang around and be with my best friend
If she wants me.
If she wants me, yeah.
If she wants me, yeah.
If she wants me, yeah.
