I don’t need you, it’s only a wanting
Oh how I’d love you, if I really knew you
Your eyes so green, Lord let me look away
I’m dancing on air, knowing I’m about to fall
And I’m hopeless, how I’m a-wanting, ooh, I.
And all the little white houses
And the people inside are not alive
And I think of you, someday soon
Let me bring you roses to your cheeks
But I don’t need you, it’s only a wanting
Oh how I’d love you, if I really knew you
Your eyes so green, Lord let me look away
I’m dancing on air, knowing I’m about to fall
And I’m hopeless, how I’m a-wanting, ooh, I.
Standing on the edge of sunlight
I know you’re gonna burn it down tonight
Cherry red, between your lips, oh
You’re so far out, I’m too far gone
But I don’t need you, it’s only a wanting
And I don’t love you, it’s only a longing
And your eyes so green and your smile so bright Lord help me walk away
And I know it’s written all over me
In the sad spaces of my face
How I’m hopeless, hopelessly a wanting, ooh.
And you look at me, so I laugh and look away.
