I'm the next act Waiting in the wings I'm an animal Trapped in your parked car I am holidays That you choose to ignore You are all I need You are all I need I'm in the middle of your picture Lying in the leaves I am a moth Who just wants to share your light I'm just an insect Trying to get out of the night I only stick with you Because there are no others You are all I need You are all I need I'm in the middle of your picture Lying in the leaves It's all wrong It's all right It's all wrong It's all wrong It's all right It's all wrong It's all wrong It's all right It's all wrong It's all right
