I Really Want You - iTunes Live London Festival '08

Many Prophets preach on bended knee

Many clerics wasted wine

Do the bloodied sheets

On those troubled 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 untold

I really want you to really want me

But I really don't know if you can do that (I really want you)

I know you want to know what's right

But I know it's so hard for you to do that (I really want you)

And time's running out as often it does

And often dictates that you can't do that (I really want you)

But fate can't break this feeling inside (now)

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 complained?

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 really want you)

I know you want to know what's right

But I know it's so hard for you to do that (I really want you)

And time's running out as often it does

And often dictates that you can't do that (I really want you)

But fate can't break this feeling inside (now)

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

No matter what I say or do

The message isn't getting through

And you're listening to the sound

Of my breaking heart
