I Really Want You

I really want you

I really want youMany Prophets preach on bended knees

Many clerics wasted wine,

Do the bloody sheets and those troubled streets mean?

I have wasted time,Are there silver shores on paradise?

Can I come in from the cold?

I killed a man in a far away land

My enemy untoldI really want you to really want me

But I really don't know if you can do that (really want you)

I know you want to know what's right

But I know so hard for you to do that (really want you)

Time's running out as it often does

And often dictates that you can't do that (really want you)

Fate can't break this feeling inside

That's burning up through my veinsI really want you

I really want you

I really want you

NowNo matter what I say or do

The message isn't getting through

And you're listening to the sound

Of my breaking heartI really want you

I really want youIs a poor man rich in solitude?

Or when mother earth complained

Did the beggar pray for a sunny day but

Lady luck for rainThey say a million people bow and scream

To an effigy of gold

As so life begin

And the ship we're in

And history unfoldI really want you to really want me

But I really don't know if you can do that (really want you)

I know you want to know what's right

But I know so hard for you to do that (really want you)

Time's running out as it often does

And often dictates that you can't do that (really want you)

Fate can't break this feeling inside

That's burning up through my veinsI really want you

I really want you

I really want you

NowNo matter what I say or do

The message isn't getting through

And you're listening to the sound

Of my breaking heartI really want you

I really want you

I really want you
