Intensive Care

I am the man you think I am
And no one knows me
I was here before time began
And you're still thinking of me

You said they made a decent woman of you yet
But I know better
I'll show you how all the roads interconnect
You can check the weather

I am the man you think I am
You're my default position
I've written out notes on my hand
You can't help but listen

Don't you know that
I'm in your intensive care
I'm not much but I'm yours
If you find this world bad
Come and see the next one
I'm in your debt for sure

I am the man you think I am
I never said a bad word about you
I didn't mean to torpedo our plans
But I was just in a mood

I'm a lily white saboteur ask yourself
Do you want more?
Take me out of the keepsake box on your shelf
An put me in your drawers

Don't you know that
I'm in your intensive care
I'm not much but I'm yours
If you find this world flat
Come and see the next one
We can take the left detour

I am the man you think I am
I was your piñata
You hit me with a stick and ran
Our relationship was underwater

I'm sending you mixed signals, you said
That you're not Arecibo
I'm exactly who you think that I am
Not quite completely evil

But you don't know me
And you never will if you stay
Every other lover's story's same
Lame and counting down to grave, oh behave

Oh you don't owe me
Just so we're on the same page
You're still trying to be untamed
At your age, and I'm never gonna be without you again
