A Want and A Need

Do you want me as your friend
Like I need you as my lover
Not hidden undercover

I need you as my lover
As much as
I want you as my lover

I see you
But I can't touch you
For to touch you
Would be to want you
Would be to need you

Not need like a want
Or want like a need
But a want and a need like a drunk
Who needs a drink to get by for the night

But I refuse the drink
Instead I stay dry
Dry until...
I want you like a need
I need you like a want

Not a want like a need
Or a need like a want
But a want and a need like a lover
A lover who wants her lover
A lover who needs her lover

I want you as my lover
As much as
I need you as my lover

I see you
I want to touch you
But to touch you
Would feed the need
To get closer to you

But since you're so far away
Way too far to travel to
Even in my dreams
I remain paralyzed
Inside my desires for you

I want you as my lover
As much as
I need you as my lover

I see you
But I can't touch you
For to touch you
Would be to want you
Would be to need you

Not want like a need
Or need like a want
But a want and a need like a junkie
Who needs a fix to get by for the night

But I refuse the fix
Turn away from the high
Turn away until...
I want you like a need
I need you like a want

Not a want like a need
Or a need like a want
But a want and a need like a lover
A lover who wants her lover
A lover who needs her lover

I see you
I want to touch you
But to touch you
Would feed the need
To get closer to you

But since you're so far away
Way too far to travel to
Even in my dreams
I remain paralyzed
Inside my desires for you

I want you as my lover
As much as
I need you as my lover

Not hidden undercover
Do you need me as your lover
Like I want you as my friend
