The Woman You Want

8 AM and I hear the birds go
The mattress moves as he exits, by the window
And I wonder oh when will I wake up ok
And I wish that he could see inside my head

And quiet my head
Quiet my head

I can’t be the woman you want right now
Yeah it takes all I have just to be a little kind
And I don’t think I will be like this for long, but I just need a while
To allow my heaving mind to riot and my limbs to paralyse

And quiet my head
Oh, quiet my head

And the neighbours out the front again
Making jokes about Armageddon in the rain

I'll be honest I'm barely holding it down
And I hate it but I have to shut you out
To quiet my head
(8 AM again)
