When I’m Down - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

What say you now

The door is opening on your vigil

Now I'm in my usual way

I save my breath, knowing what you're

You're wanting me to say

I only love you when I'm down

You say that midnight opens its arms to me

Leaving you alone, then I fly so far away

Until the light blurs my vision and I have nowhere to roam

I only love you when I'm down

Ooo

And I only love you when I'm down

And I'm only near you when I'm gone

But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know

That I'm down all the time, all the time

Well, I know you're reaching out and you

You need to feel my hand

You want to be understood

Yeah, well, I understand

I know you hold precious little hope for me

And in your happiness, I'm always drowning in my grief

And I only love you when I'm down, oh-oh

And I'm only near you when I'm gone

But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know

That I'm down all the time, all the time

All the time
