Want You
Long-Distance Heartache: Pixie Lott's 'Want You' Unveils the Struggle of Love Across Continents
Lyrics
Can I talk to you
Expressing a desire to communicate.
It might take a little while
Acknowledging that the conversation may take some time.
We've been so confused
Referring to a state of confusion in the relationship.
We need to work this out
Recognizing the need to resolve issues.
I've been away from you and I know it's been some time
Acknowledging absence and the impact on the partner.
It's not fair to you
Acknowledging unfairness to the partner.
So I need to break it down
Expressing the need to clarify and explain.
I could be stuck in L.A.
Listing various locations, indicating a busy and distant lifestyle.
You may get a late call from New York
-I try to send a kiss to where you are
-But it just seems too far
-I could be off to Tokyo
-ATL then Paris and back home
-So I just can't be where you are
-And its breaking my heart
Expressing emotional pain due to physical distance.
I don't want want you, keep telling myself
Internal conflict about desire and practicality in the relationship.
That I don't want you
-But I can't have you
-It's crazy
-It's getting so hard to stay away from you
-But I still miss you
-I don't want want you, keep telling myself
-That I don't want you
-But I wanna call you
-Say I'm sorry but I can't be the one for you
Admitting the inability to be the partner they need.
Cause I can't be with you
Acknowledging the impossibility of being together.
We may not survive
Highlighting challenges in maintaining the relationship.
This just gets a little hard
-We lead different lives
-And spend most of it apart
-Tell me what to do
-To make it up to you
-Maybe we should stop before this goes too far
-I could be stuck in L.A.
Reiteration of the busy and distant lifestyle.
You may get a late call from New York
-I try to send a kiss to where you are
-But it just seems too far
-I could be off to Tokyo
-ATL then Paris and back home
-So I just can't be where you are
-And it's breaking my heart
Expressing emotional pain due to physical distance.
I don't want want you, keep telling myself
Internal conflict about desire and practicality in the relationship.
That I don't want you
-But I can't have you
-It's crazy
-It's getting so hard to stay away from you
-But I still miss you
-I don't want want you, keep telling myself
-That I don't want you
-But I wanna call you
-Say I'm sorry but I can't be the one for you
Apologizing for the inability to fulfill the partner's needs.
Cause I can't be with you
Reiterating the impossibility of being together.
Maybe we'd be better off
Suggesting the consideration of ending the relationship.
Not that it get too serious
-I can't give you what you want
-Noooo
-Maybe we should break it off
-I don't wanna call it back
-Help me figure out
-I don't want want you, keep telling myself
