I Really Want You

Many prophets preach on bended knee

Many clerics wasted wine

Do the bloody sheets

On those cardboard 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 untold



I really want you to really want me

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

I know you want to know what's right

But I know it's so hard for you to do that

And time's running out as often it does

And often dictates if you can't do that

Fate can't break this feeling inside

That's burning up through my veins



I really want you

I really want you

I really want you now



No matter what I say or do

The message isn't getting through

And you're listening to the sound

Of my breaking heart



I really want you

I really want you



Is a poor man rich in solitude?

Or will mother earth complain

Did the beggar pray for a sunny day but

Lady luck for rain



They say a million people bow and scrape

To an effigy of gold

As so life begin

And the ship we're in

And history unfold



I really want you to really want me

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

I know you want to know what's right

But I know it's so hard for you to do that

And time's running out as often it does

And often dictates if you can't do that

Fate can't break this feeling inside

That's burning up through my veins



I really want you

I really want you

I really want you now



No matter what I say or do

The message isn't getting through

And your listening to the sound

of my breaking heart (x2)
