Bob Mould - New #1 Lyrics

You, yeah, you've always hauled my ball and chain
Right to there, the place where I get lost inside of you, yeah
I see your face and hear your voice
Right through that which seems so hopeless and confusing

Sometimes, I try too hard to separate the good times
From sadness that we've had together
Balancing, I need to keep it all in some perspective
Calm me down, I need you more than you will ever comprehend

I don't want this to end, I can't lose one more friend
I go through my regrets, and I return the compliments
And hope I find that innocence, I've got to be here
No matter what happens now

Slow down, they say that time will tell the story, it goes around
But no one else could know what's here between us
I sense this tension that I know so well
But the calm I feel is being with you, near you constantly

I can't wash this away, it's here to stay
I need to cleanse my soul, these thoughts will make me lose control
So if I lose control, don't leave me, you've got to be here
No matter what happens now

Trust me, I'm here for you with good intentions
Trust in me, despite some times when I don't trust myself
In myself, in my head, in my own confusion
My confusion gets the best of me, my illusions set me free

Free to dream about what I really need to set me free
Is it you, is it me, what can I do to set you free?
To be real, to be with me when I need you now
Are you listening? Are you listening to me now?

Tell me when I was controlling, sometimes I forget myself
Forgive me for the thoughts I have, sometimes I think just like you
Maybe I can't trust myself, I know that I can trust in you
But I can't keep it to myself, I can't keep it to myself
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
