[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
This flower is scorched, this film is on
On a maddening loop
These clothes
These clothes don't fit us right
And I'm to blame
It's all the same, it's all the same

[Chorus]
You come to me with a bone in your hand
You come to me with your hair curled tight
You come to me with positions
You come to me with excuses ducked out in a row
You wear me out, you wear me out

[Verse 2]
We've been through fake breakdowns
Self-hurt, plastics, collections
Self-help, self-pain, EST, psychics, fuck all
I was central, I had control, I lost my head
I need this, I need this
A paperweight, a junk garage, a winter rain, a honey pot
Crazy, all the lovers have been tagged
A hotline, a wanted ad, it's crazy what you could've had

[Chorus]
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this, I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
Crazy what you could've had
I need it, I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this, I, I, need this
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this, I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
Crazy what you could've had
I need this, I need this

[Outro]
Crazy what you could've had
Crazy what you could've had

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
