We were alive when we were young We were the salt of the fucking earth No one could tell us right from wrong You were a fountain and I couldn't drink enough Back when you told me your parents were moving I knew we were living on borrowed time But I swear we can make this work if you say that we'll try The distance is but a number of hours spent From days, to weeks, to months when I can barely find the rent But i'll be your armour, and i'll splint your spine I'll be your guiding light, if you'll only be mine (if you'll only be mine) I sang about the weather, about its dependability And I hoped that one day soon i'd use the tricks that you taught me But I can't, oh I can't, it's sad, but true I'll still be ever dependent on you. I just wanted to call and put this to rest I just wish I could see you and get it all off my chest I think I wanted it more, and I think you wanted it less Yeah I just wanted it more, and you just wanted it less I want to be something bigger, someone better Than the sum of all my parts I want to feel like I matter, when it matters I want to know I played my part I think I wanted it more and I think you wanted it less Yeah I just wanted it more, and you just wanted it less I sang about the weather, about its dependability And I hoped that one day soon i'd use the tricks that you taught me But I can't, oh I can't, it's sad, but true I'll still be ever dependent on you. Like the day we met outside your school The rain it came down it was too cold for you We said we'd make an effort to patch up the distance But some weeks that's hard to do Ever dependent on you.
