Wanna Be
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's a long, cold walk after midnight
When you send me home
'Cause she comes 'round late and she hates it
When we're left alone
She's beautiful, and I just can't compete
But I'd ride with you, die with you
I'd spend my life with you
Stuck with me, fuck with me
So come make love to me
I know she's sweet, but she isn't me
Where she lies in your eyes
That's where I wanna be
When a stranger says we look good together, we just laugh
If you only knew how it hurts 'cause you're my other half
This nightmare has become my favourite dream (favourite dream)
'Cause I'm standing in for a love that is the real thing
You know I need you
'Cause I'd ride with you, die with you
I'd spend my life with you
Stuck with me, fuck with me
So come make love to me
I know she's sweet, but she isn't me
Where she lies in your eyes
That's where I wanna be
That's where I wanna be
On the side of the bed where she sleeps
Driving home with your hand on my knee
Not the one that you want, but the only one you need
That's where I wanna be
Ride with you, die with you
I'd spend my life with you
Stuck with me, fuck with me
So come make love to me
I know she's sweet, but she isn't me
Where she lies in your eyes
That's where I wanna be
Ride with you, die with you
I'd spend my life with you
Stuck with me, fuck with me
So come make love to me
I know she's sweet, but she isn't me
Where she lies in your eyes
That's where I wanna be
That's where I wanna be
That's where I wanna be
That's where I wanna be
That's where I wanna be
