I Just Want You lyrics - Sara Bareilles

Give me a heart to hold the godlike truth

Give me one good soul that I can tell it through

Give me good reason to believe in you

And give me strength if you have time

Give me two hands that'll hold this up

And know you give me no more than just enough

You gave a pair of brown eyes that could call a good bluff

And somebody who thinks they shine

You, I just want you

I just want you

Spent most of my life on a microphone

Giving all that I got 'til I head back home

And when the lights go out, and I'm all alone

I've got no reason to be crying

And on a bad day I feel like a masochist

Take it away from me if it's for the best

Somehow I've ended up the head of this

Freight train that isn't mine

You, I just want you

I just want you

So take it all away

If it isn't meant for me

I don't want the easy way

I just want you

They can give me everything

But at the end of the day

The only words I'll say

Is "I just want you"

Ooooh, mmmm, mmmm

It's all so simple when you break it all down

Two roads converged down on a hallowed ground

It's taken all my life to hear the sacred sound

Of sweet simplicity

Saying "Give it all back, it don't mean a thing"

You got a short-lived life and a song to sing

And the only way up is believing

In never looking down

So take it all away

If it isn't meant for me

I don't want the easy way

I just want you

They can give me everything

But at the end of the day

The only words I'll say

Is "I just want you"

You, you, you

You, you, you, mmmm
