New #1 Lyrics - Singles - Bob Mould

You, yeah, you've always hauled my ball and chain 

Right to there, the place where I get lost inside of you, yeah 

I see your face and hear your voice 

Right through that which seems so hopeless and confusing 

Sometimes, I try too hard to separate the good times 

From sadness that we've had together 

Balancing, I need to keep it all in some perspective 

Calm me down, I need you more than you will ever comprehend 

I don't want this to end, I can't lose one more friend 

I go through my regrets, and I return the compliments 

And hope I find that innocence, I've got to be here 

No matter what happens now 

Slow down, they say that time will tell the story, it goes around 

But no one else could know what's here between us 

I sense this tension that I know so well 

But the calm I feel is being with you, near you constantly 

I can't wash this away, it's here to stay 

I need to cleanse my soul, these thoughts will make me lose control 

So if I lose control, don't leave me, you've got to be here 

No matter what happens now 

Trust me, I'm here for you with good intentions 

Trust in me, despite some times when I don't trust myself 

In myself, in my head, in my own confusion 

My confusion gets the best of me, my illusions set me free 

Free to dream about what I really need to set me free 

Is it you, is it me, what can I do to set you free? 

To be real, to be with me when I need you now 

Are you listening? Are you listening to me now? 

Tell me when I was controlling, sometimes I forget myself 

Forgive me for the thoughts I have, sometimes I think just like you 

Maybe I can't trust myself, I know that I can trust in you 

But I can't keep it to myself, I can't keep it to myself 

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
