What You Want
Butler John Trio Lyrics

What you want to say
Tell me what's on your mind, what you've been wanting to tell me

Wait till you get home
Let's talk about this in person, rather than over the phone

I'm sick of communicating over the telephone
I'm tired of relying on technology to talk to you, I want to have a real conversation

But tell me how you feel
Please open up to me and let me know how you're really doing emotionally

For I am lonely too
I feel lonely and disconnected from you as well

Need you to know
It's important to me that you understand

I'm just as cold and numb as you
I'm also feeling emotionally shut down and distant from you

But I could fly away
I could distance myself even more from you and the situation

Or I could be no one
I could disappear completely, like I never existed

And you could be the sunshine falling over the mountains
You could bring happiness and light to my life again

Or you could come to stay
You could choose to be with me and make things work

You could come right home
You could come back to me and leave whatever is keeping us apart

I don't see why I have to live this life all alone
I don't understand why we can't be together and work through our problems

I know there is a way to make up for old mistakes
I have hope that we can fix things and move forward from past mistakes

I know what's happening is for a reason
I believe that there's a purpose behind the difficulties we're facing

I
I'm expressing my thoughts and feelings

I
I'm seeking understanding and connection

I
I have hope for the future
