"At My Back" lyrics

"At My Back"

If you're the Sun
I don't wanna be the Moon
The Moon's too far away from you
I'd rather envelop you in the bluest of skies
If you're the rain
I don't want to be the stormy weather clouds you leap from
When you touch the ground
I'd rather splash with you

Ohhh don't say opposites attract
I'd rather fight you over things we both like
Ohhh don't make up for what I lack
I don't need a missing piece, just someone at my back

I don't need
Matching outfits or your keys
Though I would surely like those things
If you want a piece of me I'll just run to you
Cause when you're near
The rain is gone and skies are clear
Who needs the sun to shine
When you can smile wider than the sky

Ohhh don't say opposites attract
I'd rather fight you over things we both like
Ohhh don't make up for what I lack
I don't need a missing piece, just someone at my back

Just be my friend
When the night is cold get close
On a good day love me most
But call your mother every other Sunday babe
And don't pretend
If you need my hand hold tight
Sun or moon or rain or shine
Who needs a metaphor
When I can love you even more

If you're the left shoe
I can't be the right
I'm just another pair
That's just a little tight when I get moody
The only matching thing I need
Is maybe matching little rings
But that can wait for when we're eighty
And out of options

Ohhh don't say opposites attract
I'd rather fight you over things we both like
Ohhh don't make up for what I lack
I don't need a missing piece, just someone at my back

I don't need a missing piece to fill in the cracks
I don't need a missing piece, just someone at my back
