I Want You
Need you like a lightning strike
But I want you
I'm falling through the longest night
I just want you
It's a fantasy, I can't clear it
A little juvenile, I fear
But my heart won't hear it
A false hope that I am clinging to
A prisoner of never-to-be
I just want you
I wish it wasn't as simple as laying eyes on you
But it's truly (truly) all that it takes
I've got my pride and self-control to shield me
Yet my defenses shatter left in your wake
I know it's only a matter of time
Call it infatuation, call it a heart in motion
But there it is, I spiral deeper down into your arms
Like you know me how I want you to
I can't just shut you out, I'm going up in flames
For you
Need you like a lightning strike
But I want you
I'm falling through the longest night
I just want you
Need you though you're no good for me
But I want you
I'm dreaming of us endlessly
Oh I want you
It's a fantasy, I can't clear it
A little juvenile, I fear
But my heart won't hear it
A false hope that I am clinging to
A prisoner of never-to-be
I just want you
I see a life, and happiness together
Though it's really (really) just a mirage
This isn't like me, but I'm at my knees, severed
Craving all your attention and applause
I want your hand in mine, hearts beating in time
Bringing meaning to ten thousand lonely nights in this life
It's just a ball and chain, somehow I'll shake this off
And get you out my system
Get you out
Need you like a lightning strike
But I want you
I'm falling through the longest night
I just want you
Need you though you're no good for me
But I want you
I'm dreaming of us endlessly
Oh I want you
But I want you
I'm falling through the longest night
I just want you
It's a fantasy, I can't clear it
A little juvenile, I fear
But my heart won't hear it
A false hope that I am clinging to
A prisoner of never-to-be
I just want you
I wish it wasn't as simple as laying eyes on you
But it's truly (truly) all that it takes
I've got my pride and self-control to shield me
Yet my defenses shatter left in your wake
I know it's only a matter of time
Call it infatuation, call it a heart in motion
But there it is, I spiral deeper down into your arms
Like you know me how I want you to
I can't just shut you out, I'm going up in flames
For you
Need you like a lightning strike
But I want you
I'm falling through the longest night
I just want you
Need you though you're no good for me
But I want you
I'm dreaming of us endlessly
Oh I want you
It's a fantasy, I can't clear it
A little juvenile, I fear
But my heart won't hear it
A false hope that I am clinging to
A prisoner of never-to-be
I just want you
I see a life, and happiness together
Though it's really (really) just a mirage
This isn't like me, but I'm at my knees, severed
Craving all your attention and applause
I want your hand in mine, hearts beating in time
Bringing meaning to ten thousand lonely nights in this life
It's just a ball and chain, somehow I'll shake this off
And get you out my system
Get you out
Need you like a lightning strike
But I want you
I'm falling through the longest night
I just want you
Need you though you're no good for me
But I want you
I'm dreaming of us endlessly
Oh I want you
