What You Want

You’re softer than a cannon blast
But your effects much longer last
And I want you just like a hole in my head
But I need you like a meal and a bed

And you say, come on
I’m not what you’re after
But I know, you’re not just anyone, anyone

‘Cause I’m not what you want
No, I’m not anyone
But if you needed me
I could be someone

You’re an army in a horse
And you have taken me by force
All the freedom in this world could not resist
The sweet temptation of your sweet elusiveness

So I say, come on
As the gate swings open
‘Cause I know you’re not just anyone, anyone

But the lie’s always cheaper than the truth
And the lie’s all I’ve never known of you
So maybe none of this is true

~Derek Webb

This song just gets me lately.
