Her
I really want to be thinking of you,
With every lyric of every song.
I really want to be dreaming of you,
Dirty dreams, dreams oh so wrong.
I really want to see your face everywhere,
Want to want you to look after,
But I don't.
I want it all from her.
I really wish it was you I could see,
The only face in the crowd.
I really wish you were the only voice I could hear,
Above all of the other babble, too loud.
I really wish it was you that gave me butterflies,
Really wish yours were the meanings I infer,
It's doing my head in, none of it's you,
It's all her.
I begged and pleaded for you years ago,
You ripped my heart out, just for show.
You tore me up when you left,
I acted like you'd died, acted bereft.
Now you're back, come crawling to me,
Never observant, but now you can see.
That I don't love you, I don't want our happy ever after.
I want it all with her.
With every lyric of every song.
I really want to be dreaming of you,
Dirty dreams, dreams oh so wrong.
I really want to see your face everywhere,
Want to want you to look after,
But I don't.
I want it all from her.

The only face in the crowd.
I really wish you were the only voice I could hear,
