Chase me down the hallway
I just want to know you
But it hurts just the same
I just want you to know

I'm more than a shy set of vocal cords
Transform me into something serious
I want to be wrapped around these secrets

I know that I'm not entitled to this
But it gives me something to hold on to
I've got a firm grasp on these concepts
Four chambers must not be enough room
But I'll try and fit you in

Chase me down the highway
We just need to be needed
If I fall down through these empty roads
Will anyone hear it?

I've always been caught between different worlds
A wanted poster of my face in every atmosphere
I've been doing my best to find a home somewhere near

I know that I'm not entitled to this
But it gives me something to hold on to
I've got a firm grasp on these concepts
Four chambers must not be enough room
But I'll try and fit you in

I know this isn't mine
Yeah I know this isn't mine
I know that I might not be right
But I need to try

I know this isn't mine
But it gives me something to hold on to
I've got a firm grasp on these concepts
Four chambers must not be enough room
But I'll try and fit you in

Penguin, I really like the longing in this, but I can't put my finger on exactly what it's saying. 'I've always been caught between different worlds A wanted poster of my face in every atmosphere I've been doing my best to find a home somewhere near' Really intrigued me. I read it as wanting to find some way to be yourself in a place where everybody already thinks they know you, but they don't see the real you. Have I got it right? Either way this is great writing. Steve.
