Everybody Here Wants You Lyrics
Jeff Buckley
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me
Im only here for this moment
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
Ill be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away
Hmm, such a thing of wonder in this crowd
Im a stranger in this town
Youre free with me
And our eyes locked in downcast love
I sit here proud
Even now youre undressed in your dreams with me
Oh, Im only here for this moment
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
Ill be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away
I know the tears we cried
Have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us
Theres nothing in our way
My love
Dont you see, dont you see?
Youre just the torch to put the flame to all our guilt and shame
And Ill rise like an ember in your name
I know i, I know i
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
Ill be waiting right here just to show you
Oh let me show you
That love can rise, rise just like embers
Love can taste like the wine of the ages, oh babe,
And I know they all looks so good from a distance
But I tell you Im the one
I know everybody here, well, thinks he needs you
Think he needs you
And Ill be waiting right here just to show you.
