Yes
I wanna have it
Yes yes
I wanna have you now
But I can't be the lighter
I can't be the lighter
I wanna go there
Yes yes
I wanna show you how
But I can't be the lighter
I can't be the lighter
Just in case you never knew
I can't be the lighter
Of your eternal flame
Oh! oceans, rivers, lakes
That we could swim as two
But I already own my
Own body of water
You'll follow me and
Yes, yes
I'll follow you,
It's true
But I'm already certain
I've got good directions
Just in case you never knew
I won't be becoming
I am the beginning
And I'm already
Done
These yes days,
They've come and gone
Not always going to make
The same mistakes
It's too simple, I saw the truth
And truth is the terror of the one
Who feels their lace can be stained
But I cannot stain your white lace, baby
Even you cannot stain your white lace baby
No
I'll never go there
No no
I'll never take that route
'cause I won't be the fighter
I won' t be the fighter
Don't ever push me
No, no, don't ever make me shoot
'cause I won't be the fighter
I won't be the fighter
Just in case you never knew
I won't be the fighter
For your eternal flame
Just in case you never knew
I won't be becoming
I am the beginning
And I'm already
Done
Just in case you never knew
I can't be the lighter
Of your eternal flame
I wanna have it
Yes yes
I wanna have you now
But I can't be the lighter
I can't be the lighter
I wanna go there
Yes yes
I wanna show you how
But I can't be the lighter
I can't be the lighter
Just in case you never knew
I can't be the lighter
Of your eternal flame
Oh! oceans, rivers, lakes
That we could swim as two
But I already own my
Own body of water
You'll follow me and
Yes, yes
I'll follow you,
It's true
But I'm already certain
I've got good directions
Just in case you never knew
I won't be becoming
I am the beginning
And I'm already
Done
These yes days,
They've come and gone
Not always going to make
The same mistakes
It's too simple, I saw the truth
And truth is the terror of the one
Who feels their lace can be stained
But I cannot stain your white lace, baby
Even you cannot stain your white lace baby
No
I'll never go there
No no
I'll never take that route
'cause I won't be the fighter
I won' t be the fighter
Don't ever push me
No, no, don't ever make me shoot
'cause I won't be the fighter
I won't be the fighter
Just in case you never knew
I won't be the fighter
For your eternal flame
Just in case you never knew
I won't be becoming
I am the beginning
And I'm already
Done
Just in case you never knew
I can't be the lighter
Of your eternal flame

Actually I can't stand this song, I don't get Joan Wasser at all. I totally agree that these are good lyrics around a relationship where one party is more in love than the other... but it is about Jeff Buckley so I don't understand. Yes it has struck me as insensitive that she put these lyrics foward as it seems he loved her very much.... I'm just guessing that she and he had a special understanding for each other and she knows he would understand what she means. Anyways, still suprised at how much I can't stand the song and cant stand the video, think it's proper crap. Maybe I'm just jealous haha COMPLETELY in love with Jeff :D
