James Blunt - I Really Want You

Live Verson@Amazon Exclusive 2007

Many prophets preach on bended knees.
Many clerics wasted wine.
Do the bloodied sheets
on 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.

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)
Time's running out as often it does
and often dictates
that you can't do that.
(I really want you)
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.
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)
Time's running out as often it does
and often dictates
that you can't do that.
(I really want you)
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
