keep wanting you

i was love drunk when i first laid eyes on you
and i never got over how you walked into the room
with an ease and a gentleness you can’t replace
there’s just something about you i’d like to chase

and we were talkin for hours but we could’ve talked for days
with a bat of your eyes you said “i should be on my way”
and i wanted to scream, i wanted to cry
i wanted to haunt you for a lifetime

we never touched but if we did
i imagine a seaside breeze of comfort

you said you would hold me through the night
i wonder what that would have been like
and if there is a next time
would you be their lover
instead of mine?

how strange is that how strange is that
that i want your love oh just like that
it only took a moment, like a firecracker

and it’s sparking my night like it’s mid july
and now i’m alone and i want to cry
but you’re long gone, so i take my time
cause maybe one day we will reconvene
and finally put meaning
to the fragments we created
when we disrupted the cosmos
a ripple in time
never knew i could want someone else to be mine
but you’re gorgeous yes, you’re gorgeous, it’s true
and all i want is to keep wanting you

it was a sucker punch the moment you left
and i still can’t even catch my breath
is this the end? is this my death?
cause all i want is to keep wanting you
