I Just Want You

I just want you
To lie with me
So I can tell you that I'm sorry 
Because these distant conversations 
Don't get my point across 
And for that moment when 
We just sat there 
It was the moment I felt lost
And the tears
They had to run down my face 
So I tried my best 
Not to let you know 
As I sat here beside you 
I can feel this feeling grow
This feeling that I love you 
More than you'll ever know

And I just want you 
To lie with me 
So I can whisper that I'm sorry
About all the thing I said 
Because I hope you can forgive me 
And I'll forgive you and forget 
How to ever say those things 
That I will never say again 
You know I never meant to hurt you 
The way that I did 

Now I just want you 
To sit and watch the sunset
Because I know our hearts are learning 
More and more each day
And I know that you are waiting 
To hear me, sing and face my fears
To release all of this loneliness 
That I have hidden all these years 
And wash away all of my insecurities 
They'll wash away with all the tears

Soon I will want you 
To lie next to me 
So I can softly say I'm sorry 
Because I know that I was wrong
And I'll hope you will forgive me and forget 
More and more as time goes on 
And today A will be able to tell you 
That I will love you on my death bed 
And into the great beyond 
That you stolen my heart away 
And it cannot be undone 
I'll be yours as long as you'll have me 
Inside your lonely soul 
And I'll whisper that I love you 
Until we're grey and old
