What You Want Lyrics
I want something more than all my possessions
Something I wanna share with everybody else
It would be brilliant both to elderly and children
And be different in a way that can be embraced
If this is what you want
Then I'm gonna get it to you
Cause I wanna show you things
That you never knew
(That you never knew)
If this is what you want
I'll get closer to you
And then I'll make you sing
Cause that's what you do
So was it worth it, the way I had every word?
It seems like I bit off a little more than I could chew
I've got a big mouth, yeah
But maybe that's true
I could never know for sure until it gets to you
If this is what you want
Then I'm gonna get it to you
Cause I wanna show you things
That you never knew
(That you never knew)
If this is what you want
I'll get closer to you
And then I'll make you sing
Cause that's what you do
I wanna make it feel better
About the fact that you've made
The bet you've placed on
The lonely boys from the Keystone state
Was it worth it?
It's only gonna get better
I think we're gonna be safe
If we can keep holding on and on
To hope for this long
If this is what you want
Then I'm gonna get it to you
Cause I wanna show you things
That you never knew
(That you never knew)
If this is what you want
I'll get closer to you
And then I'll make you sing
Cause that's what you do
Something I wanna share with everybody else
It would be brilliant both to elderly and children
And be different in a way that can be embraced
Then I'm gonna get it to you
Cause I wanna show you things
That you never knew
(That you never knew)
If this is what you want
I'll get closer to you
And then I'll make you sing
Cause that's what you do
It seems like I bit off a little more than I could chew
I've got a big mouth, yeah
But maybe that's true
I could never know for sure until it gets to you
Then I'm gonna get it to you
Cause I wanna show you things
That you never knew
(That you never knew)
If this is what you want
I'll get closer to you
And then I'll make you sing
Cause that's what you do
About the fact that you've made
The bet you've placed on
The lonely boys from the Keystone state
Was it worth it?
It's only gonna get better
I think we're gonna be safe
If we can keep holding on and on
To hope for this long
Then I'm gonna get it to you
Cause I wanna show you things
That you never knew
(That you never knew)
If this is what you want
I'll get closer to you
And then I'll make you sing
Cause that's what you do

this song is a message. and this is my message back, on the off chance that you stumble across it:
this is exactly what i wanted. it was completely worth it. and i cant wait to hear what you come up with next.
This is great. I didn't really listen to the words at first and I just assumed the song was about a girl. Then I really listened to the bridge and I figured it out. It's just a thank you to the fans. They make us sing, and they keep singing because we keep singing.
Exactly what reasy said: It was completely worth it, guys. These songs mean so much to so many people and its all because of you.
This song is so good. It gets me every time.
I agree with others in thinking this song is a message to the fans and friends.
In Kenny's words the song is: "an optimistic rant about my hopes and ambitions in music and in life. The ultimate message of this song and of the record is simply 'I want you to have this and I want you to enjoy it, because this is what I love."
