Dawes

if i wanted someone

Like the memory from your motherâ??s house from Before you got too old
Like the feeling from a photograph before itâ??s meanings all got told
The words I say can be silver, but whatâ??s left unsaid can be gold
So get to know me once I go away

Maybe â??cause I come from such an empty-hearted town
Or maybe â??cause some love of mine had really let me down
But the only time I am lonely is when others are around
I just never end up knowing what to say

If I wanted someone to clean me up, Iâ??d find myself a maid
If I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldnâ??t need to get paid
If I wanted someone to understand me, Iâ??d have so much more to say
I want you to make the days move easy

I took everything I thought from what it means to be a man
We need words to be put to what we do not understand
While you lean into the echoes and you do not raise a hand
Oh woman, help me see it like it is

If I wanted someone to clean me up, Iâ??d find myself a maid
If I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldnâ??t need to get paid
If I wanted someone to understand me, Iâ??d have so much more to say
I want you to make the days move easy

If I wanted someone to clean me up, Iâ??d find myself a maid
If I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldnâ??t need to get paid
If I wanted someone to cut me down, Iâ??d have handed you the blade
I want you to make the days move easy
I just want you to make the days move easy
