The Way That I Need You Passenger

He's the deflated balloon wrapped around your gait
Cut priced to clear a past to "sell by date"
He'll be the fool running through the churchyard screaming out "it's not too late"
And When he does, I know that you'll wait
He's the drunk man with bad breath coming home on too strong
But he's the beauty queen that strings your heart along
And he'll answer every question in your new-age magazine wrong
But I know you love him strong

So I'm leaving for there's nothing to believe in
I'm just grieving for a love I never knew
Please don't go misreading me
I'm not saying you've been misleading me
Just not needing me the way that I need you

Well he's the elephant in the room that never speaks
But you dream about him every two weeks
And I wouldn't know his name, but you call it in your sleep
Oh I know you love him deep

So run back to him like you should
I guess I always knew that you would
For he's captured your heart in a way I never could
So go on and love him good

Oh I'm leaving for there's nothing to believe in
I'm just grieving for a love I never knew
You're the book I can't stop reading
I'm the stray cat you've been feeding
But the tides they are receding now it's true
