What I 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 know that I can't fake it
That's why I've got to take it
I've got that needing feeling coming on inside
Sometimes I think that tonight is already over
It's what I want
Keep asking for direction
The place where I can get some
That need for healing keeps on taking up all my time
I try to break it but I think it's taking over
This place has got just what I need and it's all mine
Sometimes I think tonight is already over
Daylight is my salvation
Resisting all temptation
Till I remind myself that I want some more
I try to break it but I think it's taking over
Forget that 9 to 5 I'm walking to the door
Sometimes I think tonight is already over
