You Needed More Lyrics by The Sleepy Jackson

Personality: One Was a Spider, One Was a Bird

2006

I had everything I wanted, but you wanted more
I had everything I needed, but you needed more
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
If your father was like anything you talked about, he would not be proud of you
