Rachael Yamagata: "I Want You" Lyrics

You sat down next to me, like poetry to wine

Our window looked upon a yellow neon sign

I took your hand while you decided what to do

The only kiss I ever miss, I shared with you

The other cities hold a memory still of a place

But when I dream of London, I can only see your face



I want you

Or no one

No one else will do

You, or no one

No one is the only one

to fill the empty space I hold for you



You simplified me down to slogans on the wall

I took offense, but you were right about them all

My friends are telling me I shouldn't waste my time

But I can't concentrate until I make you mine

I'm drawing cards and making wishes down by the well

Who would've known I'd lose myself in the old hotel



I want you

Or no one

No one else for me

You, or no one

No one else is strong enough

To slow me down in time to set me free

I want you

Or no one

No one else is fine

Oh, you, or no one

No one is the only one

To fill me up until I make you mine
