This Protector

Lyrics Information

I never thought I had to be this protector
so many thoughts inside my head
a strange collector
but now
but now
but now
now now now now now
you thought you heard a sound
there's no one else around
looking at the door
it's coming through the floor
three hundred people living out in west virginia
have no idea of all these thoughts that lie within you
but now
but now
but now
now now now now now
you thought you heard a sound
there's no one else around
looking at the door
it's coming through the floor

Jack White:

    "'This Protector,' [was] written before we did our first album...sometimes there's songs that get put aside until it feels right to do them."
