Wanted
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.
She said, that every time I close my eyes
It feels like I could disappear (disappear)
I could overflow an ocean
With the cavalcade of all my tears (all my tears)
And I know I sound dramatic
But that's just how it feels (how it feels)
She said: I'm holdin' to the notion
That I'll find something real
And I just want to be wanted (oh)
I could use a little love sometimes
I just need to be needed (oh)
Like to know I'm crossin' someone's mind
I just want to be someone that somebody needs
I just want to be more that a drop in the sea
I just want to be
She said: I'm countin' up my karma
And I think it's time I cash it in (cash it in)
So tired of livin' in a shadow of a mountain
Of what might've been (might've been)
And I know I sound dramatic but that's just how it feels
I've been looking for somebody to tell me that I'm real
I just want to be wanted (oh)
I could use a little love sometimes
I just need to be needed (oh)
Like to know I'm crossin' someone's mind
I just want to be someone that somebody needs
I just want to be more that a drop in the sea
I just want to be wanted
Oh, yeah, yeah
We just want to be wanted, yeah
Ooh
I just want to be wanted
I could use a little love sometimes
I just need to be needed
Like to know I'm crossin' someone's mind
