Wanting You - Peter Cox

WANTING YOU

Looks like you broke another heart

And kept yours to yourself

But tell me why, if you’re so smart

Are you still lonely?

You gotta let somebody in

Won’t you let me in?

There’s no secret you could keep

Safe within you, dark and deep

That could ever stop me.

Wanting you

To hold me in your arms

Only you

Can keep these restless waters calm

Wanting you

Every waking moment.

Don’t think you’re fooling anyone

You only fool yourself

Maybe that’s how the trick is done

Simple self-deception?

But I wanna hear you tell the truth

Can’t you tell the truth?

That you just can’t bear to feel

The longing still for something real

Save me from forever.

Wanting you

To hold me in your arms

Only you

Can keep these restless waters calm

Wanting you

Every waking moment.

So if you’re already planning your getaway

Remember — that when you go you’ll be leaving me

Missing — needing.

Wanting you

To hold me in your arms

Only you

Can keep these restless waters calm

Wanting you

Every waking moment.
