We don't have the means and the reason   To keep hacking away at the flaws   And neither of us really gives a damn   About tracking it down to it's cause      I was so used to seeing you   When you had your defenses down   But now that your heart's bled out of you,   I don't think I'll stick around      Give me 10,000 reasons to stay   I'll probably get out of here anyway   Knowing you, I know you'll find somewhere to stay   But I'm surprised that you got nothing to say      But that's okay      A compass and a bottle of water   Could get me 'round the world tonight   The love of my family tree   And a good CD   Is all I need tonight      Now I understand when you're telling me   That you might have some different priorities   You'd rather smirk out of your window and try to grieve   But the beautiful part, if you'd only see      Is that I'm not the one   Who's got to worry about you tonight      So call somebody else   It's funny how you still seem to think   I might've been the one all along   Well, I'm not here to apologize   Or try to tell you where it went wrong      You should be ashamed to think   That I ever owed you anything   I was never your merry little devil   Or the presence/presents that he used to bring      That he still brings, yeah      We were never more than friends, you know   And it's difficult to hear "I told you so"   But if you ever wanted to give that a go   You might've thought of it a while ago      But don't you worry so      A compass and a bottle of water   Could get me 'round the world tonight   The love for my dreaming tree   And these crowded streets   Are all I need tonight      Now I understand when you're telling me   That you've got some better things to be   You'd rather try to learn how to grieve   But the beautiful part girl, can't you see      Is that I don't have to be   The shoulder that makes you smile tonight      So call somebody else      I've got much better things to do   Than the guy in the corner of the room   Playing Stairway to Heaven and weeping   About these bones he's choking on      And I've got to find my way back to the place   Of my innocence - you complete disgrace   And this seething separation of ours   Could never hold me back from my dreams for long      Did you really think that it would?   Oh,   Did you really think that it could?      Are you feeling any lonelier now   Since your weeping well has disappeared?   Are you looking for your wishing well now?   Cause I saw it fade away last year      Of course it won't be just like this later   Your relationship will solve itself   Except this time when you think you're happy again   There won't be anybody here for you to tell      Nobody here to tell   Nobody here to tell   Nobody here for you to tell      A compass and a bottle of water   Could get me 'round the world tonight   The love of my family tree   And a good CD   Is all I need tonight      Don't wanna hear you beg and plead   I don't care about your priorities   Don't you have somewhere else you need to be?   I don't exist for your therapy      A compass and a bottle of water   Is all I need tonight   I've got my family tree, my Tull LP   I think I'll make it through the night      Now I understand   When you're telling me   That you have your own   Priorities      You'd rather pout   And you'd rather bleed   But Picasso's stroke,   Or at least to me      Is that I'm not the one   Who's fighting off your ghosts tonight   Is that I'm not the one   Who has to sing you a lullabye   Is that I'm not the one   Who has to hold you and listen tonight   No, I will not be the one   Who has to worry about you tonight      Just call somebody else
