lyrics
I first saw you from afar
Like a ship inside a jar
I never thought
I’d get you out
Or find the key
But now the years
have passed
What we never
thought would last
Holding onto
something real
Is still a mystery
I fall down
I get up
And I try to fill my cup
Sometimes I lose
Sometimes I win for free
I don’t know
What you see
Who I am
Who I could be
But here you are,
here you are
With a man like me
And every time
I look around
At the dreams
that hit the ground
I have to wonder
what they found
But could not keep
I don’t know why
we still stand
We walk along,
I hold your hand, but
What you never
understand
Can set you free
I’m no hero
In the sky
But I’m always
standing by
Everybody needs
somebody
To believe
I still don’t know
who you see
Who it is,
who it could be
But here you are,
here you are
With a man like me
I could never
leave it alone
Never could let it be
Until I felt it in my bones
That you’d take
a man like me
We all settle
for some things
Even shooting the moon
But you’re the one
I always wanted
I never settled for you
I fall down
I get up
And I try to fill my cup
Sometimes I lose
Sometimes I win for free
I don’t know
What you see
Who I am
Who I could be
But here you are,
here you are
With a man like me
Like a ship inside a jar
I never thought
I’d get you out
Or find the key
But now the years
have passed
What we never
thought would last
Holding onto
something real
Is still a mystery
I fall down
I get up
And I try to fill my cup
Sometimes I lose
Sometimes I win for free
I don’t know
What you see
Who I am
Who I could be
But here you are,
here you are
With a man like me
And every time
I look around
At the dreams
that hit the ground
I have to wonder
what they found
But could not keep
I don’t know why
we still stand
We walk along,
I hold your hand, but
What you never
understand
Can set you free
I’m no hero
In the sky
But I’m always
standing by
Everybody needs
somebody
To believe
I still don’t know
who you see
Who it is,
who it could be
But here you are,
here you are
With a man like me
I could never
leave it alone
Never could let it be
Until I felt it in my bones
That you’d take
a man like me
We all settle
for some things
Even shooting the moon
But you’re the one
I always wanted
I never settled for you
I fall down
I get up
And I try to fill my cup
Sometimes I lose
Sometimes I win for free
I don’t know
What you see
Who I am
Who I could be
But here you are,
here you are
With a man like me

I still love these songs as much as I did when I heard them for the first time late 70s and early 80s. Just excellent songwriting with great guitar melodies and Doug's voice, which I sometimes miss when I listen to Garbage. One of my favorite albums ever.
