Lyrics
What I want
Expressing desire or preference
Is waking up in the morning sun
Desiring the experience of waking up in the morning sunlight
Half awake
Being partially conscious or not fully awake
We talk about the dreams we made
Discussing the dreams created together
I kiss your eyes
Expressing affection by kissing the partner's eyes
You wrap your arms around my waist
Physical closeness with the partner
Kettle on
Preparing for the day with a reference to making tea
I'll have coffee and you Earl Grey
Choosing specific beverages, coffee, and Earl Grey
Oh oh oh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
Oh oh oh
-What I want is as simple as this song
Describing simplicity and directness in desires
So com'on baby don't you hide away
Encouraging the partner not to hide or keep things secret
What I want
Reiteration of the desire expressed earlier
Is sitting by the open hearth
Desiring to sit together near a warm fireplace
Side by side
Being physically close while sharing personal music
I'll sing you my songs on this old guitar
Using a guitar to express emotions or feelings
And I don't mind
Indicating acceptance of simple pleasures, like food choices
Beans on toast or Sunday roast
Listing simple meals, emphasizing the partner's acceptance
So long as you
Highlighting the importance of unconditional love during challenges
Will love me still when the days go wrong
Expressing a desire for enduring love through tough times
Oh oh oh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
Oh oh oh
-What I want is as simple as this song
Reiterating the simplicity of desires, echoing earlier lines
So com'on baby don't you hide away
Encouraging openness and honesty in the relationship
Oh oh oh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
Oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh oh
-So com'on baby don't you hide away
Encouraging the partner not to hide away or be distant
What I want
Reiteration of the core desire, reinforcing simplicity
Is a simple wedding and maybe a kid
Expressing a desire for a straightforward wedding and family life
Don't be afraid
Encouraging the partner not to fear commitment
You can name our kid whatever you may wish
Granting freedom in naming a potential child
Together we will
Committing to facing challenges together hand in hand
Holding hands stand the test of time
Emphasizing enduring love through time
But most of all
Declaring the partner as the most important person
You will always be my number one
Affirming the partner's consistent significance
Oh oh oh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
Oh oh oh
-What I want
Summarizing the core desire as echoed throughout the song
Is as simple as this song
Encouraging openness and honesty in the relationship
So com'on baby don't you hide away
Reiteration of the plea for the partner not to hide away
Oh oh oh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
Oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh oh
-So com'on baby don't you hide away
Final plea for the partner to not hide away
So com'on baby don't you hide away
-So com'on baby don't
Final reinforcement of the plea for openness and connection
Hide away
