James Blunt - I Really Want You lyrics

Many prophets preach on bended knee

Many clerics wasted wine

Do the bloody 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 know you want to know what's right

But I know it's so hard for you to do that

And time's running out as often it does

And often dictates that you can't do that

But 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 know you want to know what's right

But I know it's so hard for you to do that

And time's running out as often it does

And often dictates if you can't do that

But 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 your listening to the sound

of my breaking heart
