You Needed More Lyrics
I had everything I wanted but you wanted more
I had everything I needed but you needed mroe
Songs for your father, maybe your brother, or your sister, right at your mother
Fools on the water, springs in the quarter
You know I saw you
We play the same songs in your town as we play in ours
We play the same God in your town as we play in ours
Is that your brother in undercover?
All through the summer, to slip at winter
It's unreturning, you don't deserve me
You don't confirm me
If your father was like anything you talked about, he would not be proud of you
If your father was like anything you talked about, he would not be proud of you
We play the same love in your town as we, play in ours
We play the same God in your town as we play in ours
Songs for your father, maybe your brother, or your sister, right at your mother
Fools on the water, springs in the quarter, you know I saw you
If your father was like anything you talked about, he would not be proud of you
I had everything I needed but you needed mroe
Songs for your father, maybe your brother, or your sister, right at your mother
Fools on the water, springs in the quarter
You know I saw you
We play the same God in your town as we play in ours
All through the summer, to slip at winter
It's unreturning, you don't deserve me
You don't confirm me
If your father was like anything you talked about, he would not be proud of you
We play the same God in your town as we play in ours
Fools on the water, springs in the quarter, you know I saw you

i agree i reckon this is the best song on the album
This is a song about being in love with someone who is utterly broken, and realising you can't fix them. There is a certain cruelty in basically saying: "You fucked up," and yet the desperate sadness of: "I'm still here, though," in the nature of playing the same songs and investing time in the same God.
