The Urge To Merge

Natalie Cole · Everlasting [1987]

Written by Pam Reswick, Steve Werfel



Though I think I really know you



And you think you know me



And we're as close at two people



Could ever hope to be



Still I can't escape the feeling



That no matter what I do



I'll never understand what it feels like to be you



I get the urge to know you better



To make our spirits one



I want to see us be together



As close as we can come



I get the urge to merge



I get the urge to merge with you



I get the urge to merge



I get the urge to merge with you



Have you ever wanted something



You just had to possess



And it turned into obsession



And wouldn't let you rest



There are times I can't help wishing



I could melt right into you



Hear every word you're thinking



Feel everything you do



I feel trapped inside my body



And there's nothing I can do



Want to leap across the wall



That's keeping me from you



To break what can't be broken



To say what can't be spoken



If only for a moment



To touch your soul



I get the urge to know you better
