Wanted
Unseen Longings: White Town's Echoes of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
You didn't notice I existed that night
You were unaware of my presence that night
I jumped and I waved
I made an effort to get your attention by jumping and waving
Even shouted your name that night
I even called out your name that night
But it's all the same
Despite my efforts, it doesn't make a difference
You'll never see me again
We won't cross paths again
All I wanted
All I desired or expected
You see my face
You can see my face
But it's all the same
Yet, it remains unchanged
You'll never see me again
You won't notice me again
All I wanted
All I wanted or wished for
You're so pretty
You are exceptionally attractive
You turn me inside out
You deeply affect me emotionally
And I only say this
I express this because I acknowledge the reality
Because I know I'm not
I understand I may not be reciprocated in the same way
But it's all the same
Despite everything, the outcome is the same
You'll never see me again
You won't see me again
All I wanted
All I desired or expected
You see my face
You can see my face
But it's all the same
Yet, it remains unchanged
You'll never see me again
You won't notice me again
All I wanted
All I wanted or wished for
And now I'm standing
Now I'm left standing alone
And you've left me with what?
What have you left me with?
And now you thank me
You express gratitude for what you have
For what you've got
For what purpose have you thanked me?
But it's all the same
Despite everything, the outcome is the same
You'll never see me again
You won't see me again
All I wanted
All I desired or expected
You see my face
You can see my face
But it's all the same
Yet, it remains unchanged
You'll never see me again
You won't notice me again
All I wanted
All I wanted or wished for
