I Will Not Take These Things For Granted Lyrics - Fear - Toad The Wet Sprocket

One part of me just wants to tell you everything 

One part just needs the quiet 

And if I'm lonely here, I'm lonely here 

And on the telephone, you offer reassurance 

I will not take these things for granted 

I will not take these things 

How can I hold the part of me that only you can carry 

It needs a strength I haven't found 

And if it's frightening, I'll bear the cold 

And on the telephone, you offer warm asylum 

I'm listening, flowers in the garden 

Laughter in the hall, children in the park 

I will not take these things for granted 

I will not take these things for granted 

I will not take these things for granted 

I will not take these things anymore 

To crawl inside the wire, trying to feel you near me 

To feel this accepting 

That it is lonely here, not alone 

And on the telephone you offer visions dancing 

I'm listening, music in the bedroom 

Laughter in the hall, dive into the ocean 

Singing by the fire, running through the forest 

And standing in the wind, the rolling canyons 

I will not take these things for granted 

I will not take these things for granted 

I will not take these things for granted 

I will not take these things anymore 

I will not take these things for granted 

I will not take these things for granted 

I will not take these things for granted 

I will not take these things for granted 

I will not take these things for granted 

I will, will not take these things for granted 

I will not, I will not
