I Want
Drop Apollo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want what I want when I want it
oh I want you
to loose your sorrow when you're not smiling
think about it like I do
I heard you're wishing tomorrow is not coming
couse you call a sick case in the blues
and your wanted in my eyes are still loving
oh I got news

oh baby I got news for you
and you're running away from me
you keep running away babe
so just run, run away
run, run all the way
I want what I want when I want it
oh I want you
to be my anchor when I'm stumbling
and I'm ready to be yours too
never gonna return this always someone down
we deserve an opposite taste of the truth
making sayings it's pointless and I got nothing
hmm but I got you
oh baby I got you yeah
and you're running away from me
you keep running away babe
so just run run away
run, run, run all the way
I turn my head and I think that it might just work out after all
so I'm foolish one more time
took too long to explain that you are what I've been missing
and now you're on your way
and you're running away from me
yeah you keep running away babe
run, run, run away
just run
run, run, run away
just run
yeah you're running away from me
you keep running away babe

so just run, run away
run, run all the way
