When I Finally Get My Own Place lyrics - aqualung

When I finally get my own place
The walls will be white
When I finally get my own place
I will stay up every night and it will be quiet
When I finally get my own place
I'll sit on the stairs
When I finally get my own place
It will have windows that will weep
A garden I will weed, and fish I won't feed

You don't need to be lonely, you don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for
You just knock on my door
When I
When I

When I finally get my own place
I'll fly into a rage and lock myself out
And after hours of whispering through the keyhole
I will let myself back into your arms

You don't need to be lonely, you don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for
You don't need to be sure
You just knock on my door

Will you love me?
And you'll hold me
And you'll open up to let me in
But I will leave you in the end, I will leave you in the end

When I finally get my own place
However low I go, I won't say a word
Let the floor come up to meet me
Walls collapse to keep me
It's the only way

You don't need to be lonely, you don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for
You don't need to be lonely, you don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for
You just knock on my door
You don't need to be sure

When I
When I
