I Want to Live - Talking Heads

I want to live

To feel a face that isn’t there

I want to live

I roll over, and you’re not there

I’m only standing on the shore

I had some friends, but I want more

Mm

Mm

Mm, I see the future, and it’s all mine

Want to be perfect, I’m taking my time

I’ll try not to act like I’m so far away

I try to be right in whatever I say

Deeper feelings recur again and again and again and again

A complex spiral leads me to spin

Mm

Mm

I want to live

To see the Earth turn one more time

I wanna live

To feel a hand that isn’t mine

I’m only standing on the shore

I had some fun, but I want more

I’ll try not to act like I’m so far away

I try to be right in whatever I say

Deeper feelings recur again and again and again and again

A complex spiral leads me to spin

Mm

Mm

Mm
