What We Want
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.
I'm older than I look
I see the man staring at my I.D.
He reads my face and studies lines
No plagiarizing
No copyright
I'm right before your very eyes
When you say my name
And suddenly I'm young again
Young as he thinks I am
All the words that I hoped you'd say
Were stated right there in the café
We stayed out late
And spoke of the worlds perfections
This perfect date was headed
In the right direction
Conversation break
We spoke more in the silence
We got a little lot of what we want
What we want...
I'm so in love finally
I waited patiently for all of my life
It happened overnight
We spoke more in the silence
We got a little lot of what we want
