Everybody Here Wants You
Jeff Buckley
Sketches (For My Sweetheart the Drunk) (1998)
 
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
 A singing smile
   Coffee smell and lilac skin
     Your flame in me

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
  A singing smile
    Coffee smell and lilac skin
      Your flame in me
         I’m only here for this moment
       I know everybody here wants you
     I know everybody here thinks he needs you
   I’ll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away

Hmm, such a thing of wonder in this crowd
   I’m a stranger in this town
      You’re free with me
        And our eyes locked in downcast love
          I sit here proud
           Even now you’re undressed in your dreams with me

Oh, I’m only here for this moment
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away

I know the tears we cried
Have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us
There’s nothing in our way
My love

Don’t you see, don’t you see?

              You’re just the torch to put the flame to all our guilt and shame
            And I’ll rise like an ember in your name
         I know I, I know I
      I know everybody here wants you
   I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you

                                                            Oh let me show you
                                                That love can rise, rise just like embers
                                    Love can taste like the wine of the ages, oh babe,
                         And I know they all looks so good from a distance
            But I tell you I’m the one

                                                       I know everybody here, well, thinks he needs you
                                                         Think he needs you
                                                            And I’ll be waiting right here just to show you.
