Love And Attraction
Hayes Darren Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I do not want anyone
Anyone who really wants me
Every one that I desire wants to be with someone else
I find it so amusing
Isn't that the way it goes
I'm a blip on someone's radar
They don't even catch my eye
I want what I haven't got
Even if it kills me trying

I want her she wants him
He wants me I give in
I want her
I want him I don't want anything
I started questioning the rules of coupling
This strip is Mobius it's never ending

Love and attraction
It's like sex and passion
It's two ends of a spectrum
Are you a friend or a lover
Now pick one or the other

It's not easy to find
Anyone who captivates me
Anyone deserving time must have somehow passed me by
Looking in the wrong direction

She wants him he wants me
I don't want anybody
And everyone at once
It's so amusing

Love and attraction
It's like sex and passion
It's two ends of a spectrum
Are you a friend or lover
Now pick one or the other

Everybody wants someone to hold
Everybody wants to choose a role
Ain't nobody willing to break a mold
No hint of bravery
Everybody chasing some ideal
None of it obtainable none of it real
Everything falls between the cracks of
Love and attraction

Love and attraction
It's like sex and passion
It's two ends of a spectrum
Are you a friend or lover
Now pick one or the other

Love and attraction
It's like joy and sadness
It's like peace and conflict
You can chase them forever are they ever together?

Love and attraction
Love and attraction
Love and attraction
You can chase them forever are they ever together?

Everybody wants someone to hold
Everybody wants to choose a role
Ain't nobody willing to break a mold
No hint of bravery
Everybody chasing some ideal
None of it obtainable none of it real
Everything falls between the cracks of
Love and attraction

Love and attraction
Love and attraction
Love and attraction




You can chase them forever
Are they ever together?
