I was just dreaming today
About that Salinger story we both loved
And how I poured over each page
And combed it for clues about how to get closer to you
I was just dreaming today
About all the times that I crept in the kitchen
And you cooked up something to say
And I scoured for dirt on the floors just to sweep them again
Little did I know that after some time
I'd be sitting here wishin for things that aren't mine
Cause I want you
Oh honey I do
Oh I want you
As much as it can be true
Much as I try
Good as I lie
I want you
I was just dreaming tonight
About that time when you told me we'd marry
And I didn't put up a fight
Cause Paris is lovely and so were the things that you said
I was just dreaming today
About how we never could talk without shouting
Obsessing about being right
And how it would feel when we both gave it up in the end
Little did I know that though it's been long
I 'd be here on my knees conjuring you in song
Cause I want you
Honey I do
Oh I want you
As much as it can be true
Much as I try
Good as I lie
I want you
And you called me Zelda, said you were F. Scott
Oh but I've done my research, I haven't forgot
Oh the end of the story, the end of the plot
When their love lost the war to the vices they fought
But how are you what are you doing this hour
I am finding almost impossible now
To forget all the things that I couldn't allow
To escape from my lips, manifest in a shout
That I want you
Oh honey I do
Oh I want you
As much as it can be true
Much as I try
Good as I lie
I want you
