[Verse 1]
You said, "Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole"
You said, "What does it change?
Both of us know
After tonight, there ain't no future"

[Chorus]
But I want you
And I want to
And I'm happy when you're near me
Yeah, I want you
And I want to
And I'm happy when you're near me

[Verse 2]
You said, "What's the emotion
That keeps you in motion?
That keeps you from stayin' by my side?"
You think I never needed anyone
I don't know, you might be right
But all of it is untold by the future

[Chorus]
So I want you
And I want to
And I'm happy when you're near me
Yeah, I want you
And I want to
And I'm happy when you're near me
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
The aperture opens up
To frame a photograph that takes us out of us
The postcard's edges start to smudge
But it don't change the words we wrote down with love

[Chorus]
'Cause I want you
And I want to
And I'm happy when you're near me
