The Folks Around Town - Conditional Lyrics

I want nothing more than to love someone
More than anything but I can't find the words
Or the feelings to accommodate
Space in my head or my heart for goodness sake
Is this a permanent condition I suffer from
Or does everybody feel this way

On the boulevard with a sober friend
I work up the nerve to confess
If I had a heart, if I only did
I'd want nothing more than to give it away

He looks back at me, this I know for sure
Speaks in a worried tone, his features start to blur
But I don't let it stop my flow of thoughts
I speak my mind, the nonsense pond
Filled with golden fish that spend their days
Worrying about if the weathers changed
Do we really need to find a cure

If I could love someone with a love thats pure
I'd be devoted then, that I know for sure
But my love is dead, it is nothing more
Than a catchy hook, less a song of hope
More fictitious than true
But I am real and I need you
