lyrics

I'm riding the bus, I'm writing a note
Wishing this moment would never end
I am so happy just to be alive
When yesterday I only wanted to die

Goodnight is the last thing I want to hear
The birds in the sky and a six-pack of beer
And your eyes and your eyes and your eyes
Are all that I need to survive

Where we be in ten years time
I don't care to think about it now
Oh, will we be neighbors
Or distant friends?
The kind that never call or write letters?

I want you, I want you, I want you so bad
I want you, I want you, I want you so bad
I want you everyday
I want you, I want you, I want you so bad
To stay

I love you, there I said it
And I don't care if you don't love me back
'Cause if you want leave me
And take all my friends
And leave me in the street with nothing

Then I will have known the sweetest love of them all
Unselfish, unconscious, consuming total
The kind that don't need qualifying in anyway
'Cause if you wanted to leave me, I know it would remain
