What I Want

Too much time has passed me by

What we could have done then

All the time we wasted worrying about

How and what and when

I sit and think of things to come

And things that might have been

I can’t remember how we got here

And I wonder if I could do it again

It ain’t exactly what I want

It ain’t exactly what I want to do

But it’s exactly what it should be

Because I did it with you

No one else was there on the way

No one else held me while I wept

There were a thousand things we lost and

Even more we should have kept

But the truth is you were there

Every step every day

You never ventured too far

You always made it back to the way

I don’t know what tomorrow will bring and

I don’t really care

It ain’t exactly what I want

It ain’t exactly what I want to do

But it’s exactly what it should be

Because I did it with you

If I leave this town this spring

I know that you will still be there

You never let me down so far

Though I’ve tried my best to

If there’s one thing I could count on

I could count on you

It ain’t exactly what I want

It ain’t exactly what I want to do

But it’s exactly what it should be

Because I did it with you

It ain’t exactly what I want

It ain’t exactly what I want to do

But it’s exactly what it should be

Because I should be with you
