Lyrics
So, I want you...
Words and Music by Doug Yoel
Maybe I need a simpler kind of life
I spend some time with your smile
I walk around in the light of your eyes
I laugh with you like a little child
What if I want your heartbeat on my hand
I want your breath in my ear
I want to see you in the morning
After you spent the whole night here
So I - so I want you
So I - so I want you
I want you to come and spend some time with me
I know you've had some other lover
But I swear I'm not the same
I will tear down all your fences
And build a palace with the remains
I will take you to the river
And swim with you a little while
I will spend my midnight hours
To see one second of your smile
So I...
