mac/glidden - Politician Lyrics

I've collected things from places you won't know
Cause there was never much demand for what they showed

The men from whom I took them promised me they'd turn to gold
But when no one cared to notice... I still can't let them go

(Could you be a politician?
Fascinated by humans and finding solutions?)

No one cares at all for what you do

(So why not just appreciate the view?)

I swear, loving ain't so easy, being me, but I know what I need to be... Ah

Disenchanted with my stones, I turn for you
You're casting shadows round my universe with all the things you love to do
I fall into the darkness, hoping only for a clue
And sometimes I'm still too scared to close my eyes, but I'm starting to...

(Could you be a new-age guru?
Finding hope in the syntax, and bringing it all back?)

I might mess my life up here on out

(There's always going to be a bigger doubt)

My love is tied to picture books and "what if I's"
So shed your love and come away!

Is your love alive behind the door?
Can your love survive behind the door?

My love lives a life inside, my love opens the door
When I need to understand why I still love you anymore

I wanna be next to you
I wanna be next to you
Whatever you make me do
I wanna be next to you
I do

I wanna be next to you
I wanna be next to you
Whatever you make me do
Whatever you make me do
I'll do

I wanna be next to you
I wanna be next to you
Whatever you put me through
I wanna be next to you
I do
