I Really Want You - James Blunt

I really want you
I really want you

Many Prophets preach on bended knees
Many clerics wasted wine,
Do the bloody sheets and
those cobbled 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 I’m told

(Chorus)
I 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 (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
I saw 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 (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 (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

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
I really want you.
