Wanted To

Sitting across from you at the bar
Praying to God that my instincts are sharp

I put on my best face, batted my eyes
Anything to keep you in my line of sight

Visceral chemistry
No way it's only me
Feeling the world slip away

When you take one look at me
Reluctant integrity
Stops me from kissing your face

But I wanted to
I wanted to

You climbed right out of my perfect dreamscape
Now all I do is curse the gods of fate

Cause you got a girlfriend, pretty and thin
Wonder if she knows the state that I'm in

But we're perfect symmetry
The banter is poetry
How do I just walk away

From someone who's made for me?
But he's got a lady
I hold back from taking her place

But I wanted to
I wanted to

I've never been one to plead
But you make a mess of me
I want you more every day

The good girl inside of me
Stops me from coming clean
And telling you I love you this way

But I wanted to
I wanted to
Ah
Ah
I wanted to

Sitting across from you at the bar
Praying to God that my instincts are sharp
