What I Want
Discovering Love's Recipe: What I Want by Will Butler Unveiled
Lyrics
Tell me what you want babe and I will get it
Tell me your desires, and I'll fulfill them
Though it might take three to five business days, maybe longer
Delivery might take time, uncertain due to my confused state
I forget 'cause my head's in a bit of a haze
I'm forgetful because I'm mentally unclear
Since I let you down I don't know where I am going,
I feel lost and directionless since disappointing you
I don't know where I lost my shoes
I'm disoriented, can't even locate my shoes
I'm distracted by this one, particular shade of blue.
I'm fixated on a specific shade of blue, easily distracted
I bet you're wondering if I remember,
Perhaps you're wondering if I recall
Oh well I remember just about everything
I remember almost everything except specific details
Except what time it was,
I'm uncertain about time and location
And where we were oh, and one more thing.
I've forgotten multiple things
I will tell you what I want, what I wanted to say
I'll communicate my desires and thoughts
I will tell you if it's okay, if it's okay, if it's okay.
I'll express if it's acceptable or okay
If you come and take my hand I will buy you a pony.
Promising a gift of a pony if you join me
We can cook it, for supper
Joking about cooking the pony for dinner
I know this great recipe for pony macaroni.
Humorous mention of a recipe for pony macaroni
Later on we can walk the beach,
Suggesting a romantic beach walk
Oh you know that we can walk along the waves out to Greenland
Imagining walking across waves to Greenland
You can bury me there in an ice grave
Fancifully talking about being buried in an ice grave
I'm so hot these days but sometimes oh,
Describing fluctuating body temperatures
I get, so cold I've been told
Feeling extremely hot or cold due to sun exposure
It's a side effect from staring into the sun too long.
Effects of staring at the sun for too long
If you told me that there was a war I would fight for you.
Expressing readiness to fight if asked
If you told me that there was a war,
Reiteration of willingness to fight
I would fight till we're all free,
Ready to fight until achieving freedom for all
Until we were all free
Continuation of the commitment to freedom for everyone
I said what about Tuesday night are you free?
Asking about availability for a specific time
My body's not prepared for this,
Feeling unprepared physically
I can feel my heart beat out of my chest,
Sensing a fast heartbeat due to intense emotions
I apologize if I get heart blood all over
Apologizing in advance for any mess due to emotions
Your nice floral dress but it's not my fault so don't blame me,
Asserting innocence for uncontrollable emotions
Don't blame me, don't blame me 'cause it's not my fault it's your fault!
Defensively claiming innocence for emotional reactions
Now I'm not saying that we should rush this,
Not advocating rushing things
I'm not suggesting that we should start having kids but maybe,
Not proposing starting a family immediately
We could think about getting a dog or a fish tank or a jar of squids
Suggesting considering pets or unusual things
Or maybe just a chicken coop full of Alligators
Humorous mention of an absurd idea for a pet
I will go along with whatever you say.
Willing to go along with partner's decisions
I'm not a details man I just wanna,
Desiring to spend time together and show affection
Hang around and maybe get a chance
Seeking the chance to hold hands, valuing simplicity
To hold your hand don't tell me I've, made a mistake.
Asking not to be blamed for any misunderstanding
I will tell you what I want, what I wanted to say
Reiterating the willingness to express thoughts and desires
I will tell you if it's okay, if it's okay
Reaffirming the willingness to confirm if things are acceptable
I will tell you if it's not too late, if it's not too, not too late
Checking if it's not too late to express thoughts or desires
And I will tell if it's okay if it's okay
Repeating the willingness to confirm if things are acceptable
If it's okay, if it's okay
Repeating the reassurance of confirming acceptability
If it's okay.
Repeating the inquiry about acceptability
