White Elephant
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is a time where I need you
There is a place where you need me to
Be there with you every day and say
"I love you" incessantly and
This here now is not that time
And this whole world is not that place and I
Don't know what I can do
With you
Chorus (instrumental)
With you
There was maybe a time I could say
"I love you" and mean it - you'd play
Up to me and it made me smile to see
How you needed me there and
I cannot go on pretending now that
This is still that time and still that place and I
Don't know what I can do
With you
Chorus (instrumental)
With you
With you there and me here and I
Think this is right but what do you care
If it makes me sad that you should be gone
It makes me glad when you are gone
And does that make me happy, you will ask
And does that make me satisfied?
But would it make you happy to know
It breaks my heart and tears me up inside?
Maybe one day you'll come home to me
Maybe one day I'll come home to you
And it will feel like home, but now it feels
So lonely when you are here
And I don't know if it's lonely for you
Or just for me or even if you care that I am breaking up inside
But it's not for you but what was past and I
Don't know what I can do
With you
Chorus (instrumental)
With you
