"Fewer Ghosts" lyrics

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

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
