Select language to translate this lyric
Many prophets preach on bended knee
Many clerics wasted wine
Do the bloodied sheets on those cobbled 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 Iâm told
I really want you to really want me
But I really donât know if you can do that (I really want you)
I know you want to know whatâs right
But I know itâs so hard for you to do that (I really want you)
And timeâs running out as often it does
And often dictates that you canât do that (I really want you)
But fate canât break this feeling inside
Thatâs burning up through my veinsâ¦
I really want you
I really want you
I really want you
Nowâ¦
No matter what I say or do
The message isnât getting through
And youâre 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 complain
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
On the ship weâre in
Then history unfold
I really want you to really want me
But I really donât know if you can do that (I really want you)
I know you want to know whatâs right
But I know Itâs so hard for you to do that (I really want you)
And timeâs running out as it often does
And often dictates that you canât do that (I really want you)
Fate canât break this feeling inside
Thatâs burning up through my veinsâ¦
I really want you
I really want you
I really want you
Nowâ¦
No matter what I say or do
The message isnât getting through
And youâre listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart
No matter what I say or do
The message isnât getting through
And youâre listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart
