Petrichor

It hasn't rained, 6 months or more

Till today, a sudden pour

Now I can smell the petrichor outside

The sighing ground gives up its love

Unto the breeze and the trees above

Suddenly your phantom shoves my side

I don't need you

I don't need you

I don't need you

But I sure I want you

I never loved you more than when

I turned and walked into the wind

And left you leaning on an old friend of mine

I walked straight into my head

The hardest thing I ever did

Seabirds wheeling overhead crying

I don't need you

I don't need you

I don't need you

I sure I want you

I wish I knew the names of things

Of trees and flowers, birds that sing

You're much better at that kinda thing than I

And I don't know these stars up here

You'd fill me in if you were near

You taught me petrichor, our secret sign

I don't need you

I don't need you

I don't need you

But I sure I want you

I sure I want you

I want you

Yes, I want you
