What I Want Lyrics
I never thought I'd see you again
And it took one night when I packed my life
And one to take it out again
I took a look at a photograph
Where we didn't even notice the lens
Something came to life from that 3x5
It was you and me and innocence
This is what I need
This is exactly what I've been waiting for
Then I put a nail into the wall
Time has put lines here on my face
But it doesn't matter now at all
It was me and you when we were together
It was me and you when we were apart
It was me and you in my mind and
It was me and you in my heart
A color print it took time and it held it still.
I love this video...Im so glad these guys are getting played and more publicity...they deserve it more than any other band out there
Here's the meaning to the song.. from their MTV Article
Both songs, "Blind Truth" and "What I Want," made the record, and "What I Want" wound up being the first single. Johnson and Armstrong based the verses on Armstrong's separation from ex-wife Brody Dalle, but the track ultimately rings with hope.
"There's all this regret and realization about this shake-up," Johnson said. "It's saying, 'I was with this person who I thought was everything, and it ended up not working out and now my life is in disarray. But then the chorus kicks in and goes, 'This is what I want/ This is what I need/ This is exactly what I've been waiting for.' So it's all about things continuing on, no matter what."
why are there only 2 comments? the song confuses me but i love the chorus.
i heart this song, that's all that i know. whenever this one comes on in my car, i turn it up and rock it out!
Punk rock needs more upliftign and posiitive sogns like this and less bullshit emo shit. I hate emo.
to me this song means he wants a inocent marriege no cheating to live with her till death
