Want You (remastered)

I see your name, but don’t call

I type a message, then erase it all

The silence stretches, like a canyon wide

And I can’t fill it, though I’ve tried

I don’t need old pictures framed in dust

Or echoes of the words we used to trust

I don’t need the songs we used to play

When I know you won’t hit replay

I don’t want memories—I want you

Not just a shadow, not just the truth

I’d trade every yesterday

If you’d just turn around and stay

I don’t want memories—I want you

Every streetlight, every song

Keeps whispering that you’re still gone

But I don’t need a ghost to hold

I need the warmth before the cold

I don’t need to keep holding on tight

To the pieces that fade out of sight

I don’t need the pain that lingers through

I just need one more moment with you

I don’t want memories—I want you

Not just a shadow, not just the truth

I’d trade every yesterday

If you’d just turn around and stay

I don’t want memories—I want you

I never thought we’d reach the end

Now I’m left with words I can’t defend

I didn’t want a goodbye to be true

But now all that’s left is the echo of you

I don’t want memories—I want you

Not just a shadow, not just the truth

I’d trade every yesterday

If you’d just turn around and stay

I don’t want memories—I want you…

But all I have… are memories of you.
