lyrics

You led me to your carrousel
You took me for a ride
And still I span away from you
I didn't even try
So now I'm going home again
The old and easy count to ten
Call me in the morning
If you really wanna talk

But oh, if you need me again
Please don't need me when I'm sleeping
And oh, if you want me again
Please don't want me when I'm needing

A million different colours
Looking over from the bridge
The tiny lamplights hanging on
Like magnets on a fridge
But something somehow disappeared
While we were on the bus
I'm sure that it could happen to
The very best of us

But oh, if you need me again
Please don't need me when I'm sleeping
And oh, if you want me again
Please don't want me when I'm needing

We've flown apart so many times
But still we're drifting back
To some centre of our gravity
Some rhythm on our track
But I don't need an answer now
I only need a reason
To take me such a long way out
In such a lonely season

And oh, if you need me again
Please don't need me when I'm sleeping
And oh, if you want me again
Please don't want me when I'm needing
