Look at you you're just as blind
Trying to grab your little piece of mind
And you want to hold it near
But you know you can't keep it
Say a little should suffice
But more than a little of you is so nice
And you give me what i want

Not when i need it (not when i need it)
Not when i need it (not when i need it)
Well i find it all the time
But not when i need it

No two days are quite the same
I look at me life i really can't complain
And you come so easily

Not when i need it (not when i need it)
Not when i need it (not when i need it)
Well i find it all the time
Not when i need it

The feeling's getting out of hand
But i can't have you on demand
I can hang onto a dream
But i can't hold it

Late at night i'm filled with fear
That i can't take for granted that you'll
Always be near
And it makes me hate myself

To think i can't see it (not when i need it)
Not when i need it (not when i need it)
Well i find it all the time
Not when i need it (not when i need it)
Well i find it all the time
Not when i need it
