AMPHABIAN – “Possessions” – Lyrics
When I look back
At all the lovers I’ve had
They had all one thing in common
They all had to hold me
Under their spell
They all had to possess me
Well, let me tell you something
Oh I don’t like to be told what to do
And when you treat me like
One of your material objects
I lose all my projections of you
And that’s when I realize
That you’re just like me
When I find something I want
I can’t let it go
I just want to hold it
Till it becomes part of me
Maybe it’s you
Maybe it’s me
Maybe it’s everything
That I see
Oh, why do I need?
Possessions (possessions)
Possessions (possessions)
Why do I need possessions?
Is it control (control)
That I want? (that I want)
Do I like to feel
Superior to you?
My best friend
He told me, he said,
“Man, that’s just the way that it goes!”
I didn’t want to believe him
But from what I see
I think that he has all the answers
Maybe it’s me
Maybe it’s you
Oh, but then again
Maybe it’s everything
That you do
So, why do you need?
Possessions (possessions)
Possessions (possessions)
Why do you need possessions?
Is it control (control)
That you want? (that you want)
Do you like to feel
Superior to me?
Come on baby, set me free
Come on baby, yeah, set me free
Maybe it’s you
Maybe it’s me
Maybe it’s everything
That we see
Why do we need?
Possessions (possessions)
Possessions (possessions)
Why do we need possessions?
Is it control (control)
That we want? (that we want)
Do we like to feel
Superior to you?
Come on baby, set me free
Come on baby, yeah, set me free
Take, all of this fear
And throw it away
We don’t need it
Take, all of this hate
And throw it away
We don’t need it, no, no
Take, all of this pain
And throw it away
We don’t need it, no, no
Wooah, oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Oh-ah hah ah-ah-ah-ah
