LYRICS FOR "What I Want"

I never thought I'd come back around
I never thought I'd see you again
And it took one night when I packed my life
And one to take it out again

I took a look at a photograph
Where we didn't even notice the lens
Something came to life from that 3 by 5
It was you and me and innocence

This is what I want, this is what I need
This is exactly what I've been waiting for
This is what I want, this is what I need
This is exactly what I've been waiting for

I set it up in a picture frame
Then I put a nail into the wall
And time has put lines here on my face
But it doesn't matter now at all

'Cause it was me and you when we were together
It was me and you when we were apart
It was me and you in my mind
And it was me and you in my heart

This is what I want, this is what I need
This is exactly what I've been waiting for

It took so long to find it, some they never will
A color print it took time and it held it still

This is what I want, this is what I need
This is exactly what I've been waiting for
This is what I want, this is what I need
This is exactly what I've been waiting for
