I really wanted you

I'm sittin' outside, listening to rain

Like God cried out when he heard my pain

'Cause once again life just ain't goin my way

I wanna feel like this body Is mine

Read an old book just to pass some time

And know that this life will turn out all just fine

I wanna drink a London fog at noon

Have an acre for my dog or two

But most of all, I really wanted you

I wanted to sit on the porch In the evening dusk

Paint some absurd portrait of us

And know In this life we finally found some luck

'Cause most of all, I really wanted us

Wishin' on a star, wishful thinkin'

Most my nights are filled with drinkin'

And dreaming up a world that's more kind

I'm dreaming up a world where you're mine

On this Earth I'm destined to give love away

But receiving It, well, that's another thing

I'm dreamin' up a version where you stayed

I wanna write a poem, maybe sing a tune

Go out In the desert, see the stars and moon

But most of all, I really wanted you

I'm sittin' outside, listening to rain

Like God cried out when he heard my pain

Maybe tomorrow life will start goin' more my way

Maybe tomorrow everything will be okay
