James Blunt – I Really Want You (Unplugged)
Artist: James Blunt
Album: All the Lost Souls (2007)
Song: I Really Want You
Lyrics
I really want you
I really want you…
Many prophets preach on bended knee
Many clerics wasted wine
Do the bloody sheets on those cobbled streets mean
I have wasted time
Are there silver shores on paradise?
Can I come in from the cold?
I killed a man in a far away land
My enemy I’m told
I really want you to really want me
But I really don’t know if you can do that
I know you want to know what’s right
But I know it’s so hard for you to do that
And time’s running out as often it does
And often dictates that you can’t do that
But fate can’t break this feeling inside
That’s burning up through my veins
I really want you
I really want you
I really want you now
No matter what I say or do
The message isn’t getting through
And you’re listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart
I really want you
I really want you
Is a poor man rich in solitude?
Or will mother earth complain?
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day but
Lady luck for rain?
They say a million people bow and scrape
To an effigy of gold
I saw life begin
And the ship we’re in
And history unfold
I really want you to really want me
But I really don’t know if you can do that
I know you want to know what’s right
But I know it’s so hard for you to do that
And time’s running out as often it does
And often dictates if you can’t do that
But fate can’t break this feeling inside
That’s burning up through my veins
I really want you
I really want you
I really want you now
No matter what I say or do
The message isn’t getting through
And you’re listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart
No matter what I say or do
The message isn’t getting through
And you’re listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart
I really want you
I really want you
I really want you….

Song: Same Mistake
Lyrics
Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go
Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go…
And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night
Said he’d seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me
So I set out to cut myself and here I go…
I’m not calling for a second chance
I’m screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason but don’t give me choice
‘Cause I’ll just make the same mistake again
And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak
Don’t buy the promises ’cause there are no promises I keep
And my reflection troubles me, so here I go…
I’m not calling for a second chance
I’m screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason but don’t give me choice
‘Cause I’ll just make the same mistake
I’m not calling for a second chance
I’m screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason but don’t give me choice
‘Cause I’ll just make the same mistake again…

Album: Back To Bedlam (2005)
Song: Goodbye My Lover
Lyrics
Did I disappoint you or let you down
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown
‘Cause I saw the end before we’d begun
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won
So I took what’s mine by eternal right
Took your soul out into the night
It may be over but it won’t stop there
I am here for you if you’d only care
You touched my heart you touched my soul
You changed my life and all my goals
And love is blind and that I knew when
My heart was blinded by you
I’ve kissed your lips and held your head
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you well, I know your smell
I’ve been addicted to you
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
I am a dreamer but when I wake
You can’t break my spirit – it’s my dreams you take
And as you move on, remember me
Remember us and all we used to be
I’ve seen you cry, I’ve seen you smile
I’ve watched you sleeping for a while
I’d be the father of your child
I’d spend a lifetime with you
I know your fears and you know mine
We’ve had our doubts but now we’re fine
And I love you, I swear that’s true
I cannot live without you
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
And I still hold your hand in mine
In mine, when I’m asleep
And I will bear my soul in time
When I’m kneeling at your feet
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
I’m so hollow, baby, I’m so hollow
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so hollow
I’m so hollow, baby, I’m so hollow
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so hollow

Song: Cry
Lyrics
I have seen peace, I have seen pain.
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor, and cry on my shoulder,
I’m a friend.
I have seen birth, I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover’s final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to talk about it once again,
On you I depend. I’ll cry on your shoulder,
You’re a friend.
You and I have lived through many things.
I’ll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn’t cry for anything,
But don’t go tearing your life apart.
I have seen fear, I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me, and cry on my shoulder,
I’m a friend.
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor, and cry on my shoulder,
Once again
Cry on my shoulder,
I’m a friend

Song: Tears and Rain
Lyrics
How I wish I could surrender my soul
Shed the clothes that become my skin
See the liar that burns within my needing
How I wish I’d chosen darkness from cold
How I wish I had screamed out loud
Instead I’ve found no meaning
I guess it’s time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain
All pleasure’s the same, it just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
I’ve heard what they say, but I’m not here for trouble
It’s more than just words, it’s just tears and rain
How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind
Hold memory close at hand
Help me understand the years
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell
How I wish I would save my soul
I’m so cold from fear
I guess it’s time I run far, far away, find comfort in pain
All pleasure’s the same, it just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape like Dorian Gray
I’ve heard what they say, but I’m not here for trouble
Far, far away; find comfort in pain
All pleasure’s the same, it just keeps me from trouble
It’s more than just words, it’s just tears and rain
Tears and rain
Tears and rain
Far, far away; find comfort in pain
All pleasure’s the same, it just keeps me from trouble
It’s more than just words, it’s just tears and rain
