Lyrics
I Want You
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 plugged in nine long years at my life to this family
I got a hundred big brothers and sisters on my wall
But every channel that I turn to
Screams the same damn thing
All the images rerun
and nothing's new
I want you
I want you
I want you
It's so confusing
I know your visible words speak no misunderstanding
But this love climbs till my vocabulary stalls
After a line or two my fingers strike the same damn keys
From every angle – it's the same point of view
I want you
I want you
I want you
It's so confusing
Why won't you draw near
Who taught you this fear
Who?
So if my love just won't supply what you're demanding
There's a paragraph repeating in my heart
So if your story's lost in limbo down the same damn lead
You can follow up these last repeating clues
I want you
I want you
I want you
It's so confusing
It's so confusing
