If I could change one thing in this world, I’d change your mind and make you my girl

The Smoking Popes: I Need You Around

If I could see into your heart
Then would I know just where to start?
Because I’m lost and I need to be found
Crazy as it sounds
I need you around

If I could stand to be on my own
Then I would probably just leave you alone
But I’m gonna feel this way till I’m six feet underground
Crazy as it sounds
I need you around

Turning, tossing and turning
My love is burning me down

If I could change one thing in this world
I’d change your mind and make you my girl
Because I’m lost and I need to be found
Crazy as it sounds
I need you around

I’m gonna feel this way till I’m six feet underground
Crazy as it sounds
I need you around [repeat until end of song]

    Almost fifteen years later, that song is still as awesome as it was the first time I heard it. Big cheers for a very underappreciated band.
