Talking Heads - I Want to Live lyrics

I want to live, to feel a face

that isn't there

I want to live

I roll over and you're not there

I'm only standing on the shore

I had some friends but I want more mmmmm

I see the future and it's all mine

Want to be perfect, I'm taking my time

I'll try not to act like I'm so far away

I try to be right in whatever I say

Deeper feelings recur again & again & again & again

A complex spiral leads me to spin...

I want to live

To see the earth turn one more time

I wanna live

To feel a hand that isn't mine

I'm only standing on the shore

I had some fun but I want more

I'll try not to act like I'm so far away

I try to be right in whatever I say

Deeper feelings recur again & again & again & again

A complex spiral leads me to spin...

Mmmm...
