[Intro]
[Verse 1]
There s this image of you that I can t shake
That day we drove out to the ocean
So many things I wanted to say
But I knew it was all in vain
Life doesn t give you hoops to jump through
It gives you tireless roads to cross
The sadness came over me
So in love, so at loss
[Chorus]
I ve wanted you
For so very long
[Verse 2]
I ve been feeling so inbetween things
Sad and stuckin alone
Even when I m as high as I can get
I can t forget I m on my own
Keep thinking I can escape this
But there are no red shoes to tap
Just endless hauling through a desert
And babe there never was a map
[Chorus]
But I ve wanted you
For so very long
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 3]
All the people I have grown to love
That I ve had to leave behind
Because that was the way the road turned
I m sorry I have let you down
You caught me in a moment
When I was trying to catch the wind
Thought there was some kind of magic
But there s just well-executed tricks
[Chorus]
I ve wanted you
For so very long
[Verse 4]
This is what time does to us
We try to fight and never win
There s no plot to follow here
Just repetition of the same old sin
I keep thinking that I ve found it
A way to fill up the empty parts in me
If it s all temporary
I guess I ll have to wait and see
{Chorus]
I ve wanted you
For so very long
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 5]
The woman who lives above me
I hear her listen to the radio
She loves the old time stations
They say
