If I Wanted Someone
Dawes

like the memory from your mother’s house from before you got too old
like the feeling from a photograph before it’s meanings all got told
the words I say can be silver, but what’s left unsaid can be gold
so get to know me once I go away

maybe ‘cause I come from such an empty-hearted town
or maybe ‘cause some love of mine had really let me down
but the only time I am lonely is when others are around
I just never end up knowing what to say

if I wanted someone to clean me up, I’d find myself a maid
if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn’t need to get paid
if I wanted someone to understand me, I’d have so much more to say
I want you to make the days move easy

I took everything I thought from what it means to be a man
we need words to be put to what we do not understand
while you lean into the echoes and you do not raise a hand
oh woman, help me see it like it is

if I wanted someone to clean me up, I’d find myself a maid
if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn’t need to get paid
if I wanted someone to understand me, I’d have so much more to say
I want you to make the days move easy

if I wanted someone to clean me up, I’d find myself a maid
if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn’t need to get paid
if I wanted someone to cut me down, I’d have handed you the blade
I want you to make the days move easy
I just want you to make the days move easy

Lyrics by Dawes

  A Little Bit of Everything   All My Failures   Bear Witness   Bedside Manner   Christmas Parties   Coming Back to a Man   Don't Send Me Away   Fire Away   For No Good Reason   From A Window Seat   From the Right Angle   Give Me Time   God Rest My Soul   Hey Lover   I Can't Think About It Now   If You Let Me Be Your Anchor   Just Beneath The Surface   Just Beneath The Surface (Reprise)   Just My Luck   Less Than Five Miles Away   Love Is All I Am   Million Dollar Bill   Moon In The Water   Most People   My Girl to Me   My Way Back Home   Now That It's Too Late, Maria   One of Us   Peace In the Valley   Picture of a Man   Rest Easy   Right On Time   Roll Tide   Side Effects   So Well   Someone Will   Something In Common   Somewhere Along the Way   Stories Don't End   Strangers Getting Stranger   Take Me Out of the City   That Western Skyline   The Way You Laugh   Things Happen   Time Spent In Los Angeles   To Be Completely Honest   Waiting For Your Call   We're All Gonna Die   When My Time Comes   When The Tequila Runs Out   When You Call my Name
