When I Finally Get My Own Place - Aqualung

When I finally get my own place

The walls will be white

When I finally get my own place

I will stay up every night and it will be quiet

When I finally get my own place

I’ll sit on the stairs

When I finally get my own place

It will have windows that will weep

A garden I will weed, and fish I won’t feed

You don’t need to be lonely, you don’t need to be lost

You don’t need to know what you’re living for

You just knock on my door

When I

When I

When I finally get my own place

I’ll fly into a rage and lock myself out

And after hours of whispering through the keyhole

I will let myself back into your arms

You don’t need to be lonely, you don’t need to be lost

You don’t need to know what you’re living for

You don’t need to be sure

You just knock on my door

Will you love me?

And you’ll hold me

And you’ll open up to let me in

But I will leave you in the end, I will leave you in the end

When I finally get my own place

However low I go, I won’t say a word

Let the floor come up to meet me

Walls collapse to keep me

It’s the only way

You don’t need to be lonely, you don’t need to be lost

You don’t need to know what you’re living for

You don’t need to be lonely, you don’t need to be lost

You don’t need to know what you’re living for

You just knock on my door

You don’t need to be sure

When I

When I
