It's not the first time
It's not the third time
You've asked me what's on my mind
But I can't seem to find the words

Well you know sometimes
There's someone else I'd rather be
You know sometimes
There's someone else I'd rather be

But I wish you could see
The need in me
But I wish you could see
The need in me

Cos it's a shoe in
That I'll be doing nothing
Loving being idle watching my idols win

There's a burden
We're all so uncertain of the cause of this misery

Well you know sometimes
There's someone else I'd rather be
Yeh you know sometimes
There's someone else I'd rather be

But I wish you could see
The need in me
But I wish you could see
The need in me

So far
Far be it for me to say
If I'm only gonna make things worse

And it's hard
To think we're all trying to find a way
To the very same place

But I wish you could see
The need in me
But I wish you could see
The need in me
But I wish you could see
The need in me
But I wish you could see
The need in me
