I want to be a writer

I want to be a painter

I want to have a good day every once in a while.

I want your arms around me;

No, not the way you found me

I want to be the only one to make you smile.
I don't want to be hopping around on one foot

Waiting for you to stay put

It's not fair to us, (the distance makes it difficult).

I only wish we could stay great friends

While at the same time,

As the road bends,

You know exactly what I mean and how I need to know

The way

You make me smile, too.
I want to be renowned

For something I have found

I want to beat out all those who have won your heart.

I want to be a teacher,

Your double-movie feature

I want to get you noticing and taking part.

I don't want to sit here thinking about it

I want it to be here

Right now, somehow.

I only wish I were prettier, more pleasant,

Even more intelligent

My heart is bent

Still stuck in a world

Where all I'll ever want

Is you.
