What I Want
Captured Moments: Rediscovering Love and Innocence in What I Want
Lyrics
I never thought I'd come back around
I never expected to return to a certain point or situation.
I never thought I'd see you again
I never thought I would encounter you again.
And it took one night when I packed my life
One night was enough for me to pack my belongings and leave.
And one to take it out again
Another night was required to undo the decision and retrieve my life.
I took a look at a photograph
I observed a photograph where our awareness of the camera was absent.
Where we didn't even notice the lens
From a small-sized photo, something meaningful emerged.
Something came to life from that 3x5
From a 3x5 photograph, a significant memory or emotion surfaced.
It was you and me and innocence
The memory captured was of 'you and me' in a state of innocence.
This is what I want
Expressing a desire or goal, indicating a longing.
This is what I need
Expressing a necessity or requirement.
This is exactly what I've been waiting for
Stating that the current situation is precisely what was anticipated or desired.
I set it up in a picture frame
Placing the captured memory in a frame for display.
Then I put a nail into the wall
Physically securing the memory on a wall for constant reflection.
Time has put lines here on my face
The passage of time is evident on the speaker's face, but it is inconsequential now.
But it doesn't matter now at all
The effects of time on appearance no longer hold significance.
It was me and you when we were together
Referencing the unity of 'me and you' during times of togetherness.
It was me and you when we were apart
Highlighting the enduring connection of 'me and you' even in separation.
It was me and you in my mind and
Emphasizing the presence of 'me and you' in the speaker's thoughts.
It was me and you in my heart
Stressing the enduring presence of 'me and you' in the speaker's emotions.
It took so long to find it and some they never will
The time taken to discover the captured moment, contrasting with those who may never find it.
A color print it took time and it held it still.
Describing a color print that freezes a moment in time, emphasizing its lasting impact.
