Still Want You

(アルバム： Skyscraper Soul - 2011)

Well I took my car to find you
Drove down every lane
Looked in all the backyards
Then I went back through again

Then I took a Greyhound
Headed way out West
I found some friends who knew you
But they told me you had already left

Oh why do I need you so
Like a cop needs a crime

Well I've practiced in the mirror
Saying things to make my mind go clear
Prayed until my knees were black and blue
And if love is a cut well it's one that never seems to shut
Comes up every morning like it's new
And I still want you

Remember when we travelled up
To see the Arctic sun
Stopped to buy you cigarettes
Came back and you were gone
Then I had to follow
A trail of unpaid bills
You maxed out all my credit cards
And took all of the money from my till

Oh why do I need you so
Like a drowning man needs a line

Well I'm burning with desire
Standing way too close to every fire
I know I'll pay the price when it comes due
And no matter how I try resolutions fall in record time
Thoughts of your sweet smile coming through
And I still want you

Oh why do I need you so
Like a drunk needs wine

Well there's grey skies behind me
Thunder up ahead
I'm hooked on this sensation
And I'm easily misled
And if I ever find you
I hope I will someday
I won't waste time on clever lines
Just smile at you and then I'll walk away

Oh why do I need you so
Like a dying man needs time

Well I've practiced in the mirror
Saying things to make my mind go clear
Prayed until my knees were black and blue
And if love is a cut well it's one that never seems to shut
Comes up every morning like it's new
And I still want you
And I still want you
