If I Want You Now Lyrics
Who took your hand
When I had nothing to say?
Who brushed your tears away?
Who heard your cries?
When I had no time to spare?
Who came on wings that day?
Look, if I want you now
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have
And if I want you now
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have,
Darling...
Turn down your street
And try to moonage daydream,
Turn up your soundtrack high;
Turn back weird years
And fly to champagne rain days,
Turn down your bed and sigh
'Cause if I want you now
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have
And if I want you now
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have,
Darling...
Who's built his world
Around your green eyed laugh lines?
Who wakes each day to find
Love's filled his heart
With light like no known past times
And mixed his need with mine?
Look, if I want you now
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have
And if I want you now
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have
And if I want you now
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have
And if I want you now
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have,
Darling...
When I had nothing to say?
Who brushed your tears away?
Who heard your cries?
When I had no time to spare?
Who came on wings that day?
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have
And if I want you now
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have,
Darling...
And try to moonage daydream,
Turn up your soundtrack high;
Turn back weird years
And fly to champagne rain days,
Turn down your bed and sigh
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have
And if I want you now
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have,
Darling...
Around your green eyed laugh lines?
Who wakes each day to find
Love's filled his heart
With light like no known past times
And mixed his need with mine?
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have
And if I want you now
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have
And if I want you now
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have
And if I want you now
It's 'cause I only want what I can't have,
Darling...

What a beautiful, mysterious song. Such a tender song.. Such a universal feeling, to want someone we can't have. But that is why he is wanting her? If he " had" her, he would not want her?. I don't get it. But it seems to be about a life partner: "Who's built his world/ Around your green eyed laugh lines" Ah, I see, it's about a past love...and he is asking who is the person now, who is having a similar love towards her he once had...
