I Want to Live Songtext
von 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
