I wanted late night phone calls
I wanted trips to the city
I wanted dinner dates
I wanted someone pretty
I wanted a man
I wanted the truth
I wanted good taste
I wanted a goof
I wanted ambition
I wanted so much
and once it was in front of me
I was delighted
but here's the catch-
I couldn't be with him
it would have been a consequential sin
so I shut my mouth
and I clenched my fists
I turned my head
and kept saying "I never wanted this"
and I believed it for a second
until I saw
him slipping away
and I had nothing at all
what I wanted was you
and when you came my way
I turned my head
because of "someday"
