I Really Want You

Many Prophets preach on bended knee Many clerics wasted wine Do the bloodied sheets On those troubled 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 really want you) I know you want to know what's right But I know it's so hard for you to do that (I really want you) And time's running out as often it does And often dictates that you can't do that (I really want you) But fate can't break this feeling inside (now) 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 complained? 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 (I really want you) I know you want to know what's right But I know it's so hard for you to do that (I really want you) And time's running out as often it does And often dictates that you can't do that (I really want you) But fate can't break this feeling inside (now) 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 - James Blunt
