{verse1}
He's got a thing about losin' control
carries it a mile just to see how far he'll go
He brushes up his chops as he tries to fake a smile
A friend indeed when I need someone to stay a while
Someone to stay a while
{chorus}
You can bend my ear, we will talk all day
Just make sure I'm around when you finally got something to say
{verse2}
He drops hints but he won't tell you what's really on his mind
But I know if I look it's easy to find
He's got a way with his anger, a way he lets it show
Like the smoldering smoke when the fire's left to coals
Fire's left to coals.
{chorus}
You can take me down, you can show me your home
Not the place where you live, but the place where you belong
You can bend my ear, we will talk all day
Just make sure I'm around when you've finally got something to say
{bridge}
?
And what do you mean by I don't deserve this life?
{verse3}
Well, his door's always open, he's always got the time
To give a little something, even though he gets behind
Your trips become his, and your lives are entwined
But like the horse with the junkie, it's all in your mind
All in your mind.
{chorus}
You can take me down, you can show me your home
Not the place where you live, but the place where you belong
You can bend my ear, we will talk all day
Just make sure I'm around when you've finally got something to say
Finally got something, finally got something,
Finally got something to say
