I’m The One Who Wants To Be With You

I feel some sympathy for you
Recollecting when I didn't have the words to use
Fumbling with a paucity of tools
Speaking by numbers 'cause there's nothing else there to choose

So there you are
Singing, "I'm the one who wants to be with you"
As if the feelings that you really have will come on through

I won't underestimate the lack of a shorthand
When the brain to the mouth just stops
It's hard enough when you're young
Navigating blind 'til the penny drops

And you're left there...
Singing, "I'm the one who wants to be with you"
As if the feelings that you really have will come on through

I see you in your room
Suddenly conscious of
All the things you'll disown
