0:09There's this image of you that I can't shake
0:13That day we drove out to the ocean
0:18So many things I wanted to say
0:22But I knew it was all in vain
0:29Life doesn't give you hoops to jump through
0:33It gives you tireless roads to 'cross
0:39This sadness came over me
0:43So in love so at a loss
0:47I've wanted you
0:50So very long
0:57I've been feelin' so in-between things
1:02Sad and stuck and alone
1:06Even when I'm as high as I can get
1:11I can't forget I'm on my own
1:17Keep thinkin' I can escape it
1:22But there are no red shoes to tap
1:27Just endless haulin' through a desert
1:32And babe there never was a map
1:36I've wanted you
1:39So very long
1:47Ooh
1:57Ooh ooh
2:06All the people I have grown to love
2:10That I've had to leave behind
2:16Because that was the way the road turned
2:20I'm sorry I have let you down
2:27You caught me in a moment
2:31When I was tryin' to catch the wind
2:36Thought there was some kind of magic
2:41But there's just well-executed tricks
2:45I've wanted you
2:49So very long
2:56This is what time does to us
3:00We try to fight and never win
3:05There's no plot to follow here
3:09Just repetition of the same old sin
3:16But I keep thinkin' that I've found it
3:20A way to fill up the empty parts of me
3:26If it's all temporary
3:30I guess I'll have to wait and see
3:34But I've wanted you
3:38So very long
3:46Ooh
3:56Ooh
4:04The woman who lives above me
4:09I hear her listen to the radio
4:14She loves the old time stations
4:18They sing lover don't let me go
4:25And I have been there before
4:30In that place of desperate need
4:35I'm not ready to go back there
4:39To wait for someone else to leave
4:43But I've wanted you
4:47So very long
4:53So now I'm turnin' all my lights down
4:58Don't know where you are tonight
5:03Can feel so close and then so far away
5:08Within the blinkin' of an eye
5:14I convince myself I have answers
5:19But I always call my bluff
5:23All I have is my love to give
5:29Someday that might be enough
5:32But I've wanted you
5:36So very long
5:43I've wanted you
5:46For so very long
5:54Ooh
6:04Ooh
6:13Ooh
6:23Ooh
