Wants It

Story Behind The Song

This song was about someone who I thought I was in love with but I realized as time went on that I wasn't. It also addresses the on and off again fiasco that so many people deal with. Ultimately I moved on before she did and the song also expresses that in the second verse.

Lyrics

Wants It

She said she wants it

just not from me

you can take it out

on the street



then when you fall down

I'd have to leave

you don't think you know me

we finally agree



CHORUS

she said she wants it

just not from me

I feel the air between us tighten up and freeze



VERSE 2

I know you'll take it

so casually

your grace and pretty face no effect on me

you'll leave without your clothes and walk with what you know

it's enough to be afraid unwillingly



CHORUS 2

she said she wants it

just not from me

I feel the air between us tighten up and freeze

I wish I'd forgotten what I believe

you can try and try but I won't concede

You won't go and I won't leave

You won't go

You won't go and I won't

ever ever leave
