I Don't Want the World (Just You)

I never really seem to think about the things I say to you

Life gets in the way, and I just don't know what to do

I can't save you from me, and I just don't know right now girl

...can I choose you over the world?



Overtime I hope to see what things I can do without,

and as life starts to rear it's head a whisper becomes a shout

Nothing can stop the road we're on anymore

Unless either one of us decides to close that door...



But there's something you should know...

about how far I'm willing to go.

You see...I don't want the whole world.

I just want you...

oh yeah



Always have I longed for a girl just like you

Someone who understands me instead of one without a clue.

Even as life tries to interfere I won't give in

because I'll do anything...you can believe it...



and there's something you should know...

about how far I'm willing to go.

You see...I don't want the whole world.

I just want you...



I promise you that I'll be there through the very end

I'm not perfect, but for you I'll try and try again

I've prayed for this for so very long, and know this is true

even through right or wrong I'll be there for you...

but there's something you should know...



Oh, there's something you should know...

about how far I'm willing to go.

You see...I don't want the whole world.

No I don't need the whole world!

Of all the things I could have...

I just want you...

only you...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I am writing this, take from it what you will...it isn't about anyone in particular, but well, i guess it could be if she turns out to be that person...but I meant more for it to be about when you find "the one", and you finally know for sure...how one would feel then...ya know?
