The Man

I'm not a strong man
Can't build a birdhouse with my bare hands
Paint on all my bruises
Glitter red and Carolina blue
I'm the broken bones and crushed sinew
Waltzing alone in a crowded room

In my wildest dreams
Oh, I'd do anything
To tear these walls down
And be the man you want around

Oh, my mind is ruthless
But you outran the bloodhounds and gave me
Baby's breath and tulips
Kissing sweet my bandaged weakness
Evergreen but ever-fleeting
Can your palms keep my heart beating
With the turning of the seasons?

In my wildest dreams
Oh, I'd do anything
To tear these walls down
And be the man you want around

Staring daggers at my body
Shattering the mirror
Googling my symptoms
It's terminal
Wanna get into a bar fight
Crash out on the turnpike
Drag me down the sidewalk
Home to you

In my wildest dreams
In my wildest dreams
In my wildest dreams
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Be the man you'd want around
I'd be the man you'd want around
I'd be the man you'd want around
I'd be the man, oh, I'd be the man, oh

In my wildest dreams
Oh, I'd do anything
To tear these walls down
And be the man you want around
