Want Me
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Love's Risk in 'Want Me' by Becca Chaney
Lyrics
I can get used to things
I easily adapt to situations
A little too easily
I adjust too quickly
First it was living on my own
Initially, I lived independently
Cut to me and you alone
Now it's just you and me
I break old habits with new hobbies
I replace old routines with new interests
I tend to fall for whoever just caught me
I tend to fall for whoever shows interest in me
I'm a product of circumstance
My actions are influenced by my surroundings
So don't stand so close
Please maintain some distance
I can picture us
I imagine a relationship with you easily
A little too easily
I can foresee us together too easily
But I think this one time it might be
This time, it could be a positive thing
A very good thing
If you express desire for me, I'm yours
Just say you want me and I'm yours
It's a risk, but I'm willing to take the leap
I know it's a risk
I'd take a risk despite uncertainties
But I'd jump off that cliff
I'd take a big risk for this
They say that time will always tell
Time will reveal the truth
So let's start the clock
Let's start measuring time from now
'Cause I can't take much more
I can't handle this indecisiveness anymore
Of this back and forth stuff
I'm tired of this indecision in our relationship
Just say you want me
Just express your desire for me
Me
Specifically, me
Just say you want me
Emphasizing the desire for me
Me
Reiteration of the desire for me
I held my breath for so long now
I withheld emotions for a long time
'Cause I was sure that
I feared getting deeply involved with someone
I'd sink to the bottom with someone
I thought I'd end up with the wrong person
But it was never the right one
You feel like the right person now
And now you feel like
You seem like the perfect match
The perfect place to land
I can relax and be myself with you
I can exhale and breathe in
I can be comfortable and also feel excitement
Within the same sentence and
We're taking a risk, so we need space
Since we're playing with fire
We need to let this relationship breathe
We gotta give it some air
We're in a risky situation
I can picture us
I can imagine a future with you
I think you can see it too
I believe you can see it too
I can't look you in the eye
I struggle to make eye contact with you alone
When it's just me and you in one room
It's uncomfortable being alone with you
Just say you want me and I'm yours
If you express desire, I'll commit
I know it's a risk
Despite the risk, I'm willing to commit
But I'd jump off that cliff
I'd take a leap even though it's uncertain
They say that time will always tell us
Time will reveal the truth for us
So let's start the clock
Let's start measuring time from now
'Cause I can't take much more
I can't handle this indecisiveness anymore
Of this back and forth stuff
I'm tired of this indecision in our relationship
Just say you want me
Express your desire for me, it's all I ask
That's all that I need
Just wanting me is sufficient for me
Just say you want me
Reiterate the desire for me specifically
Me
Emphasizing the desire for me
