I Wanna Love You
Bob Marley vs. MGMT Lyrics

Who is much more than a friend,
Who is someone more than a friend but not always by my side

But never by my side?
But isn't always by my side

All beginnings are an end,
All things that start will eventually come to an end

In the blackness there's a light
Even in the darkest situations, there is still hope

Maybe you will only read
Perhaps you'll only manage to read

One or two letters at the most
Just one or two letters, at most

Shipping crates might line the streets,
Large boxes may clutter the roads

Every stranger is a ghost
Every unfamiliar person is like a spooky figure

Cashiers won't deduct the pain,
Cashiers can't subtract the hurt that we feel

Loneliness sleeps on the couch
Solitude rests on the sofa

Only noticing the stain
Only recognizing the mark

Once the color's faded out
After the color has vanished

Let's go camping in the cold,
We should embark on a freezing outdoor adventure

Make a fire, buy a tent
Build a fire and purchase a tent

Envision leather getting old,
Picture leather deteriorating

Re-send pigeons that were sent
Repeat the act of sending previously dispatched birds

Try to memorize your smell,
Attempt to remember your scent

It reminds me of a field
It brings to mind memories of a field

Crickets clearer than a bell
Crickets that are louder and clearer than a ringing bell

Have all their guts recast in steel
Have their insides replaced with metal

Birds don't cry when echoes quit,
Birds don't mourn when their echoes fade away

They trail off into the fog
Rather, they disappear in the mist

Autumn hurts far less than sticks,
Autumn is less painful than being struck by sticks

Knowing winter's five feet tall
Realizing how high the snow will be in the winter

Generations of defeat
Years of losses and setbacks

All assuming your the worst
All assuming that you're someone bad

They never tied the cans
They never hung cans

To the back end of a hearse
On the back of a funeral car

Take your hand against my own,
Place your hand against mine

If there's a finger I can grip
If there's a finger that I can hold onto

Reassure me at the ace
Comfort me when it matters most

Mine's a black heart you could flip
I have a heart that's so dark it could be overturned

I've come to terms with what I have,
I've accepted what I possess

What's been given, what's been asked
What's been offered, what's been requested

Turn my back against the sea,
I turn away from the ocean

And beg the serpent for a dance
And plead with a snake to dance with me

But in the red dirt muddy towns,
Yet in the murky towns made of red soil

Celebration of the dark
They celebrate the unknown

Children walking hand in hand
Kids holding each other's hands

With the pygmies in the park
With a group of pygmies in the park

I can't touch you only once,
I can't touch you just once

You always leave me wanting more
You always make me crave for more

So keep my feet within the house,
So keep me safely within the house

And stick my toes just past the door
And let me extend my toes barely beyond the door

Let me know when I'm in love,
Inform me when I'm in love

Let me die when I'm in love
Allow me to pass away while I'm in love
