I Want You

When it gets dark
I’ll leave my window open a crack and pull you up
Into a world of dust and sparks
Wait a minute while I check to see if anyone’s up, oh
For love like ours
I’d swim through rivers and oceans of tar
Wait a minute while I catch a rainbow in the jar
Wait a minute while I never stop to tell myself
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s how you said it with those eyes
Looking through mine
Like a bitter child
Like a fading light
That crossed my mind
Before I said
Before I said:
«I want you»
«I want you»
To be so sure
One step forward and two steps more
Wait a minute while I tell myself I’m not just a whore
Wait a minute while I never stop to tell myself
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s how you said it with those eyes
Looking through mine
Like a bitter child
Like a fading light
That crossed my mind
Before I said
Before I said:
«I want you»
«I want you»
«I want you»
«I want you»
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s not what you said
It’s how you said it with those eyes
Looking through mine
Like a bitter child
Like a fading light
That crossed my mind
Before I said
Before I said:
«I want you»
«I want you»
«I want you»
«I want you»
