He saw her once
He saw her twice
He thought that maybe this was by her own device
She came again
And she came on
Was this for real because it'd been so long
And far between
He could not believe
She knew his friends
She knew his past
She knew he talked to much and winded real fast
To longing eyes
He says goodbye
He turns and runs so he can't see her cry
He's left to roam
She's all alone
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
He's settled down
Sits down to play
He's losing focus cause it's been ten days
He sees the stars
He sees her face
A half remembered portrait that he can't erase
He's thinking back
He's losing track
He finds her words
She touched this page
He takes and presses them against his face
He's off and chasing dreams and she knows he
had to try
Would it be better if he'd stayed with her than
lived a lie
Of wasted time
That's sounding fine
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
Now one is one
And two is two
This simple truth I can't apply to you
And I can't keep beside her without both feet
on the ground
Got the hardest lesson learned and now it's
time to settle down
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
