I want you. 

I gotta run, gotta run, gotta run today. 
I gotta run, gotta run, gotta head along. 

I want you, I want you. 

It's not like it's easy, it weighs heavy on a heart today. 
I'm over these feelings. 
I am adrift, sinking as I sail away. 
Who cares about meanings? 
This thing, you and me in every day. 
I over these feelings.

Sinking as I sail away. 
Carrying my heart away, sinking as I sail away.
