Fewer Ghosts

A glass has a fate, it's to shatter Though it may try to escape And I have a fate, it's to matter To bloom before it's too late But everyone's on their own time For me, it was later than most For all, it seemed to come easy Maybe they had fewer ghosts It took me so long to find the truth that When I'm down, when I'm out All I need to know is you All I need to know is you And I used to follow the sunshine And blame everyone when it rained No matter the good things that happened I'd find a way to complain But time has gotten me to thinking And thinking has led me to you The years that I spent crying That's how this garden grew And it took me so long to find the truth that When I'm down, when I'm out All I need to know is you All I need to know is you So I hope that we meet in the middle 'Cause you're where I wanna land Each one before was a riddle A trick and I'd choose the wrong hand And it's strange that with you I'm as open As open as I've ever been So I'm thinking my losses are over Maybe it's my time to win And it took me so long to find the truth that When I'm down, when I'm out All I need to know is you All I need to know is you --- Fewer Ghosts - Joshua Radin
