DARREN HAYES LYRICS - Where You Want To Be

"Where You Want To Be"



Hey there stranger

Do you remember?

You were a part of my life

Early December

Think I remember?

Sentiment cuts like a knife

The seasons are changing

Life's rearranging

Full of good times

Would have beens

Its all your fault

And whereve you been

And how time goes

And though I dont even know

How to fill in the spaces

of the love youve erased in my life



Are you where you wanted to be?

Did you get there easily?

Did I make you sacrifice?

Did you make a sharp left

When you should have turned right?

Are you whereyou wanted to be?

Did you sell off all your gold

Did you trade it in?

Did you wait for love

Or settle for somebody to hold?



And barely symphonic

But strangely ironic

Moments contained in one glance

Oh how i adored you

But now im ignored by you

Nowhere a tint of romance

And now its vaguely familiar

i think i remember sharing every single intimacy

It doesnt seem so strange to me that we barely entertained

Even the politest of phrases

But sometimes at night

I conjure you up in my mind



Are you where you wanted to be?

Did you get there easily?

Did i make a sharp left

When you should have turned right?

Are you whereyou wanted to be?

Did you sell off all your gold

Did you trade it in?

Did you wait for love

Or settle for somebody to hold?



While I was busy

Perfecting the art

Of deflecting compliments

I took it too far

And i let a ripple run right through my heart

Of battle stations we're building

You and i just grew apart

We grew apart



While i decided

To make everyone else happy

i just put aside

My foolish pride

I guess I denied

My own desire

I was too busy pleasing

To ever be pleased

I forgot how to breathe

Or question anything

Or ask why?

Am I?



Am I where I wanted to be?

Did i get here easily?

Did I make a sacrifice?

Did I take a sharp left

When i should have turned right?

Am I where i wanted to be?

Can i sell off all of my gold?

Can I trade it in?

Will I wait for Love

Or settle for somebody to hold



I'd settle for somebody to hold now



You know that ive been up and ive been down

ive been picked up and spun around

id do it all again

if i could just have somebody to hold now

I just need somebody to hold now

Could somebody hold me now?

I just want somebody to hold me now

I'd do it all again
